Jis Din Ki Us Ke Munh Se Burqa Uthega Suniyo — Mir Taqi Mir

जिस दिन कि उस के मुँह से बुर्क़ा उठेगा सुनियो उस रोज़ से जहाँ में ख़ुर्शीद फिर न झाँका
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

On the day the veil lifts from her lips, listen well, from that day, the sun will never shine upon the world.

Explanation

This couplet is a powerful declaration of emotional dependency. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's words—the moment the veil (burqa) lifts from her mouth—will be so devastatingly impactful that the entire world loses its light. The sun, symbolizing life, joy, and existence itself, will never shine again. It speaks to a love that is absolute, where the mere utterance of a few words can change the cosmic order.
