Sab Aqal Khoe Hai Rah-e-mohabbat — Mir Taqi Mir
सब अक़्ल खोए है राह-ए-मोहब्बत
हो ख़िज़्र दिल में कैसा ही गुमराह
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
All intellect is lost on the path of love; how lost is the heart, O Khizr, in its wandering.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the overwhelming nature of true love. Mir Taqi Mir speaks of a state where logic and reason (aqal) are completely surrendered on the path of love. He addresses Khizr, a figure often associated with wisdom, lamenting how utterly lost and misguided his own heart has become. It is a poignant declaration that the intoxication of passion renders us incapable of rational thought.
