हम तही-दस्त तुझ को क्या देते
जान तुझ पर निसार कर बैठे
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning
Being empty-handed, what else could we have given you? Thus, we ended up sacrificing our very life for you.
Explanation
This couplet captures the sheer innocence and total surrender of true love. The speaker is 'tahi-dast'—completely empty-handed—with no worldly treasures, jewels, or gifts worthy of offering to the beloved. Yet, in an effortless and unguarded impulse, they end up gifting the only real thing they possessed: their very life.
