क्या 'मीर' है यही जो तिरे दर पे था खड़ा
नमनाक-चश्म-ओ-ख़ुश्क-लब ओ रंग ज़र्द सा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Is this the 'Mir' who once stood at your door, with eyes like tears, dry lips, and a pale yellow hue?
Explanation
This poignant couplet is a profound self-questioning by the lover. 'Mir' asks: Is this me, the one who once stood at your door? The second line paints a picture of extreme suffering—tearful eyes, moist lips, and a pale, sickly complexion. It suggests that the speaker feels diminished, worn down by the pain of love, questioning if the person you remember is even the same person standing before you today.
