Ab Aankhon Mein Khoon Dam-b-dam Dekhte Hain / Na Poocho Jo Kuch Rang — Mir Taqi Mir
अब आँखों में ख़ूँ दम-ब-दम देखते हैं
न पूछो जो कुछ रंग हम देखते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Now, our eyes are red like blood every moment; do not ask what colors we observe.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the overwhelming nature of intense emotion. The poet declares that his eyes now hold a constant 'blood'—not literal blood, but the color of deep passion, sorrow, and sacrifice. He warns the listener not to ask about the 'colors' of his vision, because the experiences he has witnessed are too complex, too profound, and too painful to be easily explained.
