ये नक़्श दिलों पर से जाने का नहीं उस को आशिक़ के हुक़ूक़ आ कर नाहक़ भी मिटा जाना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

(Literally) The marks/imprints on the heart are not meant to fade, for him. Even the rights of the lover must be erased in vain.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks about the indelible mark of true love. The poet suggests that even if the beloved (Maashooq) unjustly takes away the lover's rights and presence, they can never erase the emotional scars or the beautiful memory etched upon the heart. The scars of love are permanent; they are proof of a deep connection that nothing can undo.
