— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

If she is destined, then this suffering of the lover is a calamity; has even the master of intoxication raised a young girl?

Explanation

This beautiful couplet captures the sheer wonder of a beloved's beauty. The poet is marveling at a girl, described as young and enchanting. He uses hyperbole, questioning if even a spiritual master (Peer) could have raised such a perfect, youthful vision. It's a declaration of admiration, suggesting that the beloved's grace is almost divine, an impossible sight!
