मुद्दत रहेगी याद तिरे चेहरे की झलक
जल्वे को जिस ने माह के जी से भुला दिया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The memory of your face's glimpse will linger for a long time, for the charm that has made me forget the passing months.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the enduring nature of memory. Mir Taqi Mir beautifully captures the idea that while the beloved's charm (jalve) might be forgotten through sheer effort or time, the initial glimpse—the mere sight of their face—leaves an indelible mark on the soul. It suggests that some memories are too profound to ever truly fade, no matter how hard one tries to move on.
