Thi Khwahish-e-dil Rakhna Hamail — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Keep the desire of your heart carried by me, in my neck, every good and every bad moment.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to an all-consuming, almost painful level of devotion. Mir Taqi Mir is saying that the burden of his heart's desire is to carry every visible and invisible mark on the beloved's neck. It's not just about seeing the beauty; it's about internalizing every detail—every scar, every memory, every fleeting glance—until the beloved becomes the weight and the weight of his existence. It's a beautiful portrait of obsession.
