Mujrim Hue Ham Dil De Ke Varna Kis Ko Kaso Se Hoti Nahin Chah — Mir Taqi Mir

मुजरिम हुए हम दिल दे के वर्ना किस को कसो से होती नहीं चाह
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Having given our hearts, we have become criminals; else, whom could we ever refuse?

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the inescapable nature of love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, acknowledges that by simply opening our hearts, we commit a 'crime' against our own restraint. But he follows this admission with a rhetorical question: how can anyone stop a deep yearning? It’s a beautiful surrender to the power of emotion, suggesting that some desires are simply too strong to be controlled.
