When passing by feels like the apocalypse, I remember when you came just once.

This profound couplet captures the overwhelming power of memory and love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, describes a moment—passing by a street—that feels like an apocalypse, not because of danger, but because it triggers the memory of a single, fleeting glance. It speaks to how powerful a memory can be, turning a simple moment into an emotionally catastrophic experience.
