'मीर' हम मिल के बहुत ख़ुश हुए तुम से प्यारे
इस ख़राबे में मिरी जान तुम आबाद रहो
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Myr says that we were greatly delighted to meet you, dear. May you dwell in peace in this ruin.
Explanation
This couplet captures the beautiful paradox of love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, acknowledges the profound joy of meeting the beloved ('pyare'). However, he immediately contrasts this happiness with the surrounding chaos—the 'kharaba' (ruin). His plea is not for his own safety, but a deeply selfless wish: that the beloved remains prosperous and stable, even if the world around them is falling apart. It speaks of a love that accepts ruin, as long as the beloved shines.
