Tang Qabai Ka Samaan Yaar Ki Pairan Ghuncha Ko Tah Kar Gaya — Mir Taqi Mir
तंग क़बाई का समाँ यार की
पैरहन ग़ुंचा को तह कर गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Due to the tight-fitting garment, the corner of my beloved's robe tore.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet uses powerful imagery to describe the overwhelming nature of love. 'तंग क़बाई का समाँ' refers to the intense, confined atmosphere created by the beloved's presence. The garment (pairhan) is so tightly woven with this mood that it has crushed the delicate flower (guncha)—representing the lover's fragile emotions or innocence. It suggests a love that is beautiful, but also suffocatingly intense.
