Khinchegi Kab Vo Tegh-e-naaz Yaarbar — Mir Taqi Mir
खिंचेगी कब वो तेग़-ए-नाज़ यारब
रहे हैं देर से सर को झुका हम
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When will she draw the bow of her playful grace, my beloved? We have been bowing our heads for a long time.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the agonizing wait of the lover. The poet asks, 'When will that arrow of grace be drawn, my beloved?' He explains that they have waited too long to even lower their heads in submission. It speaks to a deep, restless longing—the feeling of being perpetually poised on the edge of hope, yet never reaching the fulfillment of the beloved's glance.
