Agar Jaan Aankhon Mein Us Bin Hai Toh Hum / Abhi Aur Bhi Koi Dam — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If life resides in the eyes for someone who is not there, then let us behold someone else's charm just a little longer.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound declaration of absolute devotion. It suggests that the poet's very existence, his 'life' or 'soul,' is tied irrevocably to the beloved, residing within his sight. Because of this overwhelming connection, he finds the strength to endure countless more moments of separation and longing. It is the ultimate expression of love that transcends mere breath; it is a commitment of the spirit.
