जज़्ब-ए-इश्क़ जिधर चाहे ले जाए है महमिल लैला का यानी हाथ में मजनूँ के नाक़े की उस के महार है आज
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The passion of love takes whomever it wills, like the palace of Leila. Today, the hand of Majnun's desire rests at the threshold of that mystery.

Explanation

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks of the irresistible force of love. He suggests that the pull of passion is so overwhelming that it guides the lover to the most beautiful, yet dangerous, places—like Laila's garden. But it doesn't stop there; he adds that the lover is now equipped with the sharp skill, the 'arrow' of Majan, ready to face whatever the love throws at him. It's a declaration of both vulnerability and fierce readiness!
