आशिक़ सा तो सादा कोई और न होगा दुनिया में जी के ज़ियाँ को इश्क़ में उस के अपना वारा जाने है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

In this world, there will be no one as simple as a lover, to whom the beloved can surrender their entire heart and soul.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the singular devotion of the true lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that a sincere, simple lover is rare in this world. The second line is profound: to truly own the light (or life) of the beloved through love, one must be willing to wander or sacrifice their own path entirely. It's a declaration that love isn't just a feeling; it's a complete, dedicated existence.
