Whatever is the cause of this life, it is the cause of life. From it, the entire universe has emerged.

This profound couplet speaks to the ultimate power of love and devotion. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that every single life has a reason for being, but elevates this concept by stating that the entire vast universe—the cosmos itself—has manifested merely for the sake of one specific person. It’s an intoxicating declaration of devotion, suggesting that the beloved is the central axis around which existence spins.
