Gul Phool Se Kab Us Bin Lagti Hain Apni Aankhein — Mir Taqi Mir
गुल फूल से कब उस बिन लगती हैं अपनी आँखें
लाई बहार हम को ज़ोर-आवरी चमन में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar asks when his eyes will resemble those of the beloved, and requests that he be given a gentle, graceful spring, rather than a wild one.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the intoxicating power of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beauty of the beloved is so overwhelming that it makes the natural beauty of flowers seem dull by comparison. The 'spring' (bahaar) that the beloved brings is a force greater than any lush garden, indicating that the magic of love surpasses the magic of nature.
