For the desires of the heart, a life was given; our style/mannerism is well known.

This powerful couplet speaks to the unique, passionate, and dramatic nature of true love. Mir Taqi Mir is declaring that he is willing to sacrifice his life for the mere desire of his heart. But the second line, 'Saleeqa humara toh mashhoor hai' (Our style is famous), adds a layer of pride. It suggests that his commitment, his intensity, and the grand manner in which he loves are legendary—a love affair that everyone knows.
