Tujhe Kyunke Dhundun Ki Sote Hi Guzari — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Why should I search for you, when you passed by in my sleep, a craving on my beloved's path.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the essence of a deep, subconscious longing. The poet suggests that why should the lover actively search for the beloved, when the beloved's memory or presence was already so pervasive that it passed by even while the lover was sleeping? The journey of love, according to Mir Taqi Mir, is not about searching, but about realizing that the beloved is an intrinsic part of your existence, a constant, gentle presence.
