न मर कर भी छूटेगा इतना रुकेगा
तिरे दाम में जो गिरफ़्तार होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Even if he doesn't die, he won't stop this much, who will be trapped in the net of your love.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the essence of deep, unbreakable attachment. Mir Taqi Mir asks a rhetorical question: even if I die, will this feeling of being captivated by you ever leave? He says that the moment he is 'captured' (giraftaar) within the realm of your love (dam), that bond will never loosen. It speaks to a devotion that transcends life and death.
