Gar Yahi Garmi-e-mazmun Sharar-rez Rahe — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
If this fiery heat of my theme keeps scattering sparks like this, then the binding of my poetry-collection will become like a candle's burning wick.
Explanation
The poet imagines his writing as being so full of fiery passion that it could burn the very pages of his book. He says that if the heat of his themes keeps throwing off sparks like this, then the thread binding his collection of poems will have to be made from the wick of a candle. In other words, his words are so intense and glowing that an ordinary binding won't hold them. Only something born of flame could keep such burning verses together. It's a playful yet proud way of celebrating the fiery power of his own poetry.
