पाँव में वो नशा तलब का नहीं
अब तो सरमस्त-ए-ख़्वाब हैं दोनों
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In my feet, it is not the intoxication of desire; now, both of us are intoxicated by dreams.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks of a profound shift in intoxication. The poet suggests that the intoxication no longer stems from physical desire or craving (talab). Instead, both individuals—the lover and the beloved—are now deeply intoxicated by the world of dreams and imagination. It’s a surrender to the ethereal, where reality blurs into a beautiful, dreamy haze.
