अज्ज़ा बदन के जितने थे पानी हो बह गए आख़िर गुदाज़ 'इश्क़ ने हम को बहा दिया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

All the water that was in the face has flowed away; finally, the current of love has washed me away.

Explanation

This profound couplet captures the devastating, all-consuming nature of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the very essence, the 'water' of the body, has drained away. He attributes this loss not to illness or age, but to the powerful current of love itself. It's a beautiful surrender, where the lover feels completely washed away by the divine intoxication of 'ishq'.
