कब बंदगी मेरी सी बंदा करेगा कोई जाने है ख़ुदा उस को मैं तुझ को ख़ुदा जाना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Who will worship me like you worship, my devotion? I do not know, but God knows, I recognized you as God.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks of an all-consuming, almost divine devotion. The poet questions who can replicate the depth of his love, suggesting his bond is unique. The second line is the climax: he confesses that his love was so absolute that he treated the beloved as God. It elevates the romance from mere physical affection to a profound, spiritual connection, a hallmark of classical Urdu poetry.
