Hawas Thi Ishq Karne Mein Wa-lekin — Mir Taqi Mir
हवस थी इश्क़ करने में व-लेकिन
बहुत नादिम हुए दिल को लगा हम
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the act of loving, there was desire, but my heart felt deeply attached to you.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the disillusionment that follows intense love. The poet suggests that while the initial desire (haws) to love was strong, the deep disappointment (naadim) eventually made the heart feel something profoundly different—a sense of loss or deep melancholy. It's the journey from passionate desire to heartbreaking realization.
