वो नक़्श-ए-पै हूँ मैं मिट गया हो जो रह में
न कुछ ख़बर है न सुध हैगी रह-रवाँ मेरी
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I am the imprint of your feet; if I have vanished from the path, then there is no news, and my journey will never be well.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of complete emotional obliteration. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, says, 'I am the footprint that has vanished in the path; there is no news, and no remedy for my wandering soul.' It suggests that the speaker has lost their very identity or presence in the beloved's life. The journey of love has erased the self, leaving only a wandering, directionless existence.
