सद-रग-ए-जाँ को ताब दे बाहम तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों का एक तार किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

From the very essence of my life, you have taken a single strand of your tresses.

Explanation

This profound couplet captures the intoxicating power of the beloved's beauty. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that merely seeing or touching a single strand of her hair is enough to send a shock through the very pulse of the lover's soul. It's not just attraction; it's an electrical jolt to the core of existence. The poet masterfully uses the imagery of the 'pulse' (रग-ए-जाँ) to convey an overwhelming, life-altering experience.
