बस ऐ सिपहर सई से तेरी तो रोज़-ओ-शब
याँ ग़म सताने को है जलाने को इश्क़ है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O morning, for your sake, these days and nights are burning with the agony of love's pain.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the relentless torture of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere existence or memory of the beloved's dawn (or presence) is enough. He states that love itself is a burning agony, a force that torments the heart ceaselessly, day and night. It speaks to a passion so consuming that its suffering becomes a permanent, beautiful reality.
