दिलों में दाग़-ए-मोहब्बत का अब यह आलम है
कि जैसे नींद में
डूबे
हों
पिछली रात चिराग़
— Firaq Gorakhpuri
Meaning
The state of love's stain now prevails in our hearts, as if the lamps of the previous night have drowned in sleep.
Explanation
Firaq Gorakhpuri suggests that the stain of love has created an atmosphere in our hearts, as if the lamps of the previous night are drowned in sleep. This metaphor beautifully captures the deep, almost unconscious state of love, where memories and emotions are suspended in a quiet, mysterious sleep. Through this verse, Firaq shares a unique perspective on love's lingering effect—a state of gentle, diffused light that reflects the heart's profound contemplation.
