Darahmi Aa Gai Mizajon Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The coins of money have entered the temperaments, from those strands of hair, O coins of dirham.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the overwhelming effect of deep love. The poet confesses that his emotional equilibrium ('mizaj') has been completely disturbed and colored by a restless passion. This turmoil, he states, is entirely due to the enchanting presence—the beautiful dark-haired ones—of his beloved. It speaks to the uncontrollable nature of infatuation, where the mere sight of the beloved can dismantle one's inner peace.
