Mar Gaye Hum To Mar Gaye To Jee — Mir Taqi Mir
मर गए हम तो मर गए तो जी
दिल-गिरफ़्ता तिरी बला होवे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If we die, then we die; oh, my heart's captive, may disaster strike you.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound declaration of self-sacrifice and devotion. Mir Taqi Mir is saying, 'If I die, I have died.' It's a statement that suggests his existence is already dedicated to the beloved. The second line, 'दिल-गिरफ़्ता तिरी बला होवे,' means that even his heart-captivating downfall (or 'affliction') is entirely the beloved's curse or fate. It's a surrender to love's power!
