देख उस दहन को हर-दम ऐ आरसी कि यूँ ही
ख़ूबी का दर कसो के मुँह पर भी वा रहा है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Look at that burning, always, oh Arsi, that it is showering beauty even upon your face.
Explanation
This profound couplet uses the image of a mirror (आरसी) to reflect not just appearance, but the intensity of internal passion or suffering (दहन). The poet asks the mirror to constantly witness this burning, suggesting that the very essence of beauty (ख़ूबी) is now manifesting or pouring out onto the face, making the agony itself a visible part of the charm. It is a deep meditation on how emotion defines identity.
