Hum Taaza Shaheedon Ko Na Aa Dekhne Nazaan / Daman Ki Teri Zameen — Mir Taqi Mir
हम ताज़ा शहीदों को न आ देखने नाज़ाँ
दामन की तिरी ज़ह कहीं लोहू में न भर जाए
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I neither wish to see the fresh martyrs, nor do I want your skirt to be stained with blood.
Explanation

It speaks volumes about the intensity of his love and the tragedy of war, suggesting that even the ultimate sacrifice cannot withstand the power of her presence. It is a blend of devotion and despair.
