Ye Tark Ho Ke Khushin Kaj Agar Kulah Karein — Mir Taqi Mir
ये तर्क हो के ख़शिन कज अगर कुलाह करें
तो बुल-हवस न कभू चश्म को सियाह करें
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If these arguments, when spoiled, are struck with an axe, they will never make the eye black with the flow of desire.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the eternal conflict between reason and passion. The poet suggests that no amount of logic or intellectual argument can ever truly tame or control the intense longing that resides in the heart. The eyes, according to Mir Taqi Mir, are a window to an emotion so profound that even the most reasoned effort will fail to dim that deep, captivating desire.
