Zof Yaan Tak Khincha Ki Surat-gar Reh Gaye Haath Mein Qalam Le Kar — Mir Taqi Mir
ज़ोफ़ याँ तक खिंचा कि सूरत-गर
रह गए हाथ में क़लम ले कर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar asks how far you stretched your beauty, O beloved, that I remain here with the pen in my hand.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the overwhelming power of beauty and charm. The poet says that the beloved's artistry (or charm) was so captivating that it rendered him speechless, yet he was still left holding the pen. It suggests that the emotional intensity was so profound that his ability to express himself through poetry was momentarily paralyzed, a testament to the beloved's unparalleled allure.
