उज़्लत से निकल शैख़ कि तेरे लिए तयार
कोई हफ़्त-गज़ी मेख़ कोई दह-वजबी है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From disgrace, the Sheikh is ready for you, a nail from Haft-Gazi, and a torch from Dah-Wajbi.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks of profound devotion and sacrifice. The poet suggests that the beloved's mere presence is enough to make the poet abandon even his pride and dignity. The depth of love is such that the poet is ready for any sacrifice—be it a great effort or a decisive, painful step—just to be near the beloved. It's a declaration that love has overcome self-respect.
