Tha Mustar Husn Se Us Ke Jo Noor Tha — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
By the splendor of her beauty, the light she possessed, even the sun held within it her mere trace's behest.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the overwhelming power of divine or absolute beauty. The poet suggests that the beloved's radiance (Noor) was so profound that it affected even the most powerful source of light—the sun (Khurshid). It implies that the beloved's existence was the ultimate standard of beauty, a light source so powerful that even celestial bodies could only reflect a mere particle of its glow. It is a breathtaking compliment to transcendent beauty.
