Dagh Hoon Rashk-e-mohabbat Se Ki Itna Betaab — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I am so restless from the jealousy of love; for whose portrait did you leave the house?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the restless nature of deep love and jealousy. The poet claims to be so consumed by the 'jealousy of love' (Rishk-e-Mohabbat) that he is restless. He questions the beloved, asking, 'For whose beauty did you leave your home?' It's a powerful questioning of the beloved's choices, suggesting that the lover's pain is not just about the loss, but about the mystery of the beloved's new affections.
