Naqsha Ajab Hai Us Ka Naqqaash Ne Azl Ke — Mir Taqi Mir
नक़्शा अजब है उस का नक़्क़ाश ने अज़ल के
मतबू ऐसा चेहरा कोई न फिर बनाया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The map is wondrous; its artisan has never created such a face since time immemorial.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the overwhelming and almost unbelievable beauty of the beloved. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's features are so unique, so exquisitely crafted, that even the divine artist (the 'Naqqaash') could not have conceived or created such a masterpiece from the raw material of existence. It’s a poetic declaration of unmatched, divine beauty.
