Us Ke Kooche Se Jo Uth Ahl-e-wafa Jaate Hain — Mir Taqi Mir
उस के कूचे से जो उठ अहल-ए-वफ़ा जाते हैं
ता-नज़र काम करे रू-ब-क़फ़ा जाते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From whose dwelling the loyal hearts depart, and from whose gaze the beloved's face is lost.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the irresistible pull of memory and the beloved's lingering presence. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even when the true lovers (Ahl-e-Wafa) depart from the beloved's paths, it is not merely the physical sight that compels them to leave. Rather, it is the sheer power of that gaze, the memory, and the overwhelming beauty that makes the departure inevitable, a beautiful agony.
