Mar Mar Gaye Nazar Kar Us Ke Barhana Tan Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
मर मर गए नज़र कर उस के बरहना तन में
कपड़े उतारे उन ने सर खींचे हम कफ़न में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My eyes died gazing at her naked body; they stripped off clothes and dragged us into the shroud.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the agony of intense, forbidden love. The poet describes the moment when his longing reaches a fatal peak. He states that he repeatedly looked at her exposed form, and the consequence was devastating: the lover was stripped of his dignity and treated like a corpse, forced into a shroud. It is a brutal portrayal of passion turning into death and utter helplessness.
