ख़्वाहाँ नहीं वो क्यूँ ही मैं अपनी तरफ़ से यूँ
दिल दे के उस के हाथ बिकाया तो क्या हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Though he wasn't meant for me, why did I so freely give my heart, what does it matter if I sold it to his hands?
Explanation
This couplet is a profound declaration of unconditional love and acceptance. The speaker acknowledges that the beloved might not love them back, yet they have already given away their heart. Mir Taqi Mir captures the beautiful paradox of love: sometimes, the act of giving is so powerful that we accept the outcome, even if it means heartbreak. It speaks to a surrender—a willingness to lose everything, simply because the feeling was too strong to contain.
