तक़्सीर न ख़ूबाँ की न जल्लाद का कुछ जुर्म
था दुश्मन-ए-जानी मिरा इक़रार-ए-मोहब्बत
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Neither the drawing was imperfect, nor was the executioner's deed wrong; my beloved enemy, my declaration of love.
Explanation
Neither the drawing was flawed, nor was the executioner's deed wrong; my beloved enemy, my declaration of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the act of declaring love itself is inherently risky, much like a painting or an executioner's act. His perspective implies that the greatest 'crime' or challenge often comes from our own emotions, rather than external events. For Mir, the declaration of love is this unique, unavoidable, and highly precarious 'crime.'
