ज़ौक़ पैकान-ए-तीर में तेरे
मुद्दतों तक जिगर ने छिन देखा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the intoxication of your arrows, my heart kept longing for ages.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the enduring, intoxicating power of the beloved's charm. Mir Taqi Mir says that the mere style (Zauq) of your arrow is so enchanting that my heart has been stolen over countless ages. It's not the wound that hurts, but the persistent, magical pull of the beloved's grace. It suggests a love that is not sudden passion, but a slow, deep, and irresistible enchantment that has marked the soul for lifetimes.
