Hairan Hain Us Dahan Ke Azizan-e-khurda-bim — Mir Taqi Mir

हैराँ हैं उस दहन के अज़ीज़ान-ए-ख़ुर्दा-बीं ये भी मक़ाम हाए तअम्मुल तलब है क्या
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Those who cherish the blaze, those who love the burning, are astonished; is this also a station that seeks contemplation?

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir here questions the very stages of deep, divine love. The poet wonders: are the beloved's intimate companions (the 'azizaan') surprised by this burning passion? Or is this whole state of profound contemplation and yearning itself just another demanded station? It suggests that the journey of love is so complex that even the devotee struggles to understand its own demands.
