Dil Do Ho Mir Saahib Us Bad-maash Ko Tum / Khaatir Toh Jam Kar Lo Tak — Mir Taqi Mir
दिल दो हो 'मीर' साहब उस बद-मआ'श को तुम
ख़ातिर तो जम्अ' कर लो टक क़ौल से क़सम से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O Meer, for that ungrateful soul, gather two hearts, by promise and by oath.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming nature of commitment in love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if you are deeply attached to someone, even if that person is flawed or 'unfortunate' (bad-mā'ish), you must commit absolutely. The poet uses the metaphor of gathering two hearts—a commitment so total that it must be secured not just by emotion, but by one's very word and oath. It speaks to the painful weight of devotion.
