शब 'मीर' से मिले हम इक वहम रह गया है उस के ख़्याल-ए-मू में अब तो गया बहुत लट
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

From the 'Mir' (poet) I met, a delusion remains; in the ocean of his thoughts, a great deal has slipped away.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks of the consuming nature of memory and illusion. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that he has been given a persistent, haunting delusion—a mere 'wahm.' This illusion, rooted in the beloved's memory, has consumed so much of his existence, much like time passing away. It’s a lament about how even a beautiful, fragile memory can become a relentless, agonizing burden.
