Mat Baith Bahut Ishq Ke Aazrda Dilon Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not sit in the hearts of lovers, lest the influence of the oppressed's sorrow spoils your beauty and peace.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir delivers a profound warning here. He advises caution when one dwells too deeply in the intoxicating atmosphere of love. The 'aazurda dil' (blue-hued heart) represents the soul captivated by romance. The poet warns that if you linger too long in the world of love, the mere sorrow or suffering (mazloom) of that experience will inevitably stain your spirit and overwhelm you. It's a warning about the addictive, yet dangerous, nature of profound emotion.
