हूँ एहतिज़ार में मैं आईना-रू शिताब आ
जाता है वर्ना ग़ाफ़िल फिर दम तो वापसीं भी
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In waiting for you, I am the coolness like a mirror; if you do not come, then even my departure will be oblivious.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the agony of desperate waiting. The poet says, 'I am waiting for the shining mirror (of your reflection).' This mirror symbolizes the beloved's presence, beauty, and remembrance. He fears that if this reflection doesn't appear, he will become so detached and heedless that he will lose even the memory of returning to life. It is a profound expression of love's dependency.
