Magar Deewaana Tha Gul Bhi Kisoo Ka / Ki Paraahan Mein So Jaaga Rafu — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
is that the rose was also crazy for someone, which is why its fragrance fell asleep in the cloth.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet paints a picture of overwhelming, almost absurd devotion. The poet suggests that even the flowers (gul) were utterly infatuated with Kisoo. Why? Because Refu, the beloved, had fallen asleep within the drapery (parahan). It’s a deeply romantic moment, where the natural world itself seems to be affected by the mere presence or sleep of the beloved. Mir Taqi Mir captures the intensity of love that defies logic.
