Us Kucha Ki Hawa Thi Ki Meri Hi Aah The — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
Was it the breeze of that lane or were they my own sighs; something, like a fan, fanned the fire of my heart into a blaze.
Explanation
The poet is wondering what fanned the fire burning in his heart. Was it the breeze blowing through that beloved's street, or was it his own deep sighs? Either way, something stirred the flame and made it burn even brighter, like a fan waved over glowing embers. It's a tender image of longing. The ache of love doesn't fade; it only grows, fed by the memory of the beloved's lane and by the poet's own restless breath. He can't tell what truly deepened his pain, but he feels its heat keenly.
