Ghusse Se Uth Chale Ho To Daaman Ko Jhaad Kar — Mir Taqi Mir
ग़ुस्से से उठ चले हो तो दामन को झाड़ कर
जाते रहेंगे हम भी गरेबान फाड़ कर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you leave in a fit of anger, I will also tear the veil and depart.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the depth and desperation of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even if the beloved leaves in a fit of rage, tearing away all pretense and coverings, the lover will not stop following. The imagery of 'tearing open the canopy' suggests a willingness to endure public pain, loss of dignity, and extreme vulnerability just to stay connected to the beloved. It is a declaration of absolute, unwavering devotion.
