Haif Jo Woh Nuskha-e-dil Ke Upar — Mir Taqi Mir
हैफ़ जो वो नुस्ख़ा-ए-दिल के उपर
सरसरी सी एक नज़र कर गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Just like that, he cast a glance upon the recipe of the heart.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound meditation on the sheer, devastating power of a casual glance. The 'prescription of the heart' refers to the delicate, fragile state of love—the formula that dictates our emotions. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that just a passing look, a mere glance, is enough to fundamentally alter the deepest workings of our soul, leaving us completely vulnerable.
