Aksar Alat-e-jaur Us Se Hue — Mir Taqi Mir
अक्सर आलात-ए-जौर उस से हुए
आफ़तें आईं उस के मुक़द्दम से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Often, troubles have occurred from the source of arrogance, and troubles have also come from that person's wrath.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the devastating power of the beloved's charm. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere presence or actions of the beloved (the 'aalaat-e-jaur') often precipitate disasters (afatain) in the lover's life. It’s a classic lament: the very source of our deepest joy is also the cause of our greatest suffering. It speaks to the unbearable paradox of love.
