जी चला था कि तिरे होंट मुझे याद आए ला'ल पाएँ हैं मैं इस जी ही के खोते खोते
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

When I was walking, I remembered your lips; losing myself in this very heart, I found you again.

Explanation

This couplet is a profound exploration of separation and the inescapable nature of memory. The poet describes a situation where, even after physically leaving the beloved, the memory of their lips persists. It's a poignant realization that the act of leaving doesn't diminish the feeling; rather, the longing itself becomes a consuming force, causing the lover to lose their very sense of self.
