Yum Araq Jalva-gar Hai Us Munh Par / Jis Tarah Os Phul Par Dekho — Mir Taqi Mir
यूँ अरक़ जल्वा-गर है उस मुँह पर
जिस तरह ओस फूल पर देखो
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The intoxication or divine glow on that face is like the dew appearing on a flower.
Explanation
This exquisite couplet compares the captivating glow of a beloved's face to a dewdrop resting on a flower. Mir Taqi Mir uses this natural image to describe a transient, yet perfect, beauty. The dewdrop holds the light gently, just as the beloved's face seems to hold a subtle, intoxicating luminescence. It's a beautiful metaphor for delicate charm and fleeting grace.
