The heart, which once wandered through the streets of the Haram, now passes through our home; the wandering and journey on this fever are finished. This suggests that the heart has found its true home and peace, ending its restless journey.
This beautiful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks of a profound change of heart and life's journey. The poet suggests that the heart's true home is now where it passes through the lanes of the home (or heart's dwelling), not the foreign streets of the 'Dair-o-Haram' (the sacred/pilgrimage places). His wandering journey ('safar-o-safar') is over on this burning passion ('aabale'). It’s a declaration of settling down and finding peace within oneself, a journey from the external world to the internal soul.
