Tair-e-rang-e-hina Ki Si Tarah — Mir Taqi Mir
ताइर-ए-रंग-ए-हिना की सी तरह
दिल न इस के हाथ से छूटा गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Like the flight of a henna-colored bird, my heart slipped from his grasp.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet uses the imagery of a bird dyed with henna, symbolizing something exquisitely beautiful and delicate. The poet suggests that the beloved's heart was so attached to the speaker, or perhaps so captivating, that it never slipped from his grasp. It speaks to a profound, almost possessive, yet tender attachment—a love that is both fragile and unbreakable.
