Aashiq Jahaan Hua Hai Be-dhangiyaan Hi Ki Hain — Mir Taqi Mir
आशिक़ जहाँ हुआ है बे-ढंगियाँ ही की हैं
इस मीर-ए-बे-ख़िरद ने कब ढब से दिल लगाया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh lover! The antics you have performed are truly clumsy; when did this foolish lover fall for your heart?
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful piece of self-deprecating wit! Mir Taqi Mir is reflecting on his own excessive passion. He acknowledges that his actions as a lover have been foolish and unconventional. Yet, he questions the very nature of his own deep falling in love—implying that the intensity of his emotion is so profound that it defies logic, even for a poet of his stature.
