एक बोसे पर तो की है सुल्ह पर ऐ ज़ूद रंज
तुझ को मुझ को इतनी इतनी बात ऊपर जंग है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
You have established peace on one bench, O Zul, with sorrow's burden; but for you and me, there is a war over such a small matter.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the deep irony of love. The poet suggests that a single, tender moment—a kiss—was enough to establish peace between lovers. Yet, despite that profound connection, the relationship remains perpetually unsettled, plagued by petty arguments and trivial disagreements. It speaks to the fragile nature of emotional peace, where even the smallest misunderstanding can reignite a massive conflict.
