If this path were not miles away from the fair place, my eyes would be ground under the footsteps of ghazals.

Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beauty and emotional intensity of the ghazals are almost overwhelming. He uses the metaphor of 'grinding the eyes under the feet' to describe a state of profound emotional exhaustion. If the source of this art were close, the sheer weight of the poetry's beauty and sorrow would consume him. It is a powerful testament to the intoxicating, yet sometimes painful, power of profound art.
