Jalaya Shab Ik Shola-e-dil Ne Hum Ko — Mir Taqi Mir
जलाया शब इक शो'ला-ए-दिल ने हम को
कि उस तुंद सरकश में ख़ू थी कसू की
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
A flame of the heart consumed us, for that beloved who was a fire of passion.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the agonizing pain of love. The poet says that a single spark, a flame, lit up his heart... not because of the beloved's beauty, but because of the mischievous, enchanting spirit within them. It suggests that the true source of suffering isn't the physical presence, but the wild, unpredictable nature of the beloved's soul!
