फ़ित्ने रहते हैं उस के साए में
क़द-ओ-क़ामत तिरा क़यामत है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Temptations reside in your shadow, and your very existence is the doomsday.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of irresistible allure and dangerous beauty. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the very presence of the beloved—their shadow—is a breeding ground for temptation (fitna). It’s not just physical beauty, but their entire being, their stature (qad-o-qamat), that is described as a 'qayamat,' or a catastrophic event. It means that simply existing near them is enough to destroy one's composure and peace.
