Kuchh Aao Zulf Ke Kuche Mein Darpesh — Mir Taqi Mir

कुछ आओ ज़ुल्फ़ के कूचे में दरपेश मिज़ाज अपना उधर अब तो गया है
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Come, please, into the alley of your tresses; my disposition has now moved elsewhere.

Explanation

This poignant couplet speaks of a desperate plea for intimacy, yet carries a note of emotional withdrawal. The poet asks the beloved to enter the private 'alley' created by their tresses, suggesting a closeness beyond mere sight. However, the second line, 'My disposition has gone elsewhere,' adds a layer of mystery and pain. It suggests that while the speaker desires closeness, their heart or mood has moved beyond the reach of the beloved, creating a beautiful, melancholic tension.
