दिल नज़र-ओ-दीदा-पेश-कश ऐ बाइस-ए-हयात
सच कह कि जी लगे है तिरा किस मकान में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O heart, eyes, and lovely countenance, you who are the essence of life, tell me truly, in which house does your heart feel at home?
Explanation
This profound couplet is a plea for emotional truth. The poet addresses the beloved, praising their beauty and captivating eyes, but immediately shifts to the deepest question: where is your true home? He isn't asking about a physical address, but about the corner of the heart where the beloved genuinely feels settled. It captures the universal agony of needing certainty in love.
