कुश्ते की उस के ख़ाक भरी जिस्म-ए-ज़ार पर ख़ाली नहीं हैं लुत्फ़ से लोहू की धारियाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Upon the corpse-like, dust-covered body of the wrestler, the veins of blood are not empty, flowing with pleasure.

Explanation

The imagery here is intensely dramatic, describing the beloved's body—covered in dust and tears. But the core message is revolutionary: even the blood flowing through the veins is not empty of pleasure. Mir Taqi Mir elevates love beyond mere emotion; it becomes a physical, intoxicating force. It suggests a passion so profound that life itself, the blood, is infused with exquisite delight. A truly haunting portrayal of consuming love.
