The sigh of dawn extinguished the burning in the heart; / That mad lover merely extinguished us.

This couplet beautifully captures the agonizing paradox of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even the gentle, soothing sigh of dawn (Aah-e-Sahar) was enough to quell the burning intensity of his heart's passion. Yet, the beloved, with a single action, extinguished all remaining warmth, leaving the lover completely spent and breathless. It speaks to the sudden, devastating nature of emotional abandonment.
