Chalta Hai Reh-e-ishq Hi Us Par Bhi Chale Tu — Mir Taqi Mir

चलता है रह-ए-इश्क़ ही उस पर भी चले तू पर एक क़दम चल कहीं ज़िन्हार न होवे
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The Shayar says that the path of love moves even for him, so you may walk on it too, but do not take one step anywhere, lest you find no companion.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the path of love is open to everyone, and you are welcome to walk upon it. This couplet speaks profoundly about the nature of love—its allure and its extreme fragility. The Shayar cautions that although the path of passion exists, taking even a single wrong step could lead to losing all companionship and support. It is a beautiful warning about navigating any sensitive journey in life.
