Jab Sar Chadhe Ho Aise Tab Ishq Karein So Bhi — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When love has such a high intensity, let others be the ones to experience it. I have averted this trouble/curse from my head, O Farhad.
Explanation
This couplet explores the delicate balance between overwhelming passion and divine grace. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that when emotions are at their peak—when the heart is utterly consumed—that is when true love blossoms. However, the second line adds a profound twist: that the very 'calamity' (the intense, potentially destructive nature of such love) has been averted by Farhad. It's a beautiful commentary on fate, suggesting that sometimes, protection is more precious than the passion itself.
