मेहर-अफ़ज़ा है मुँह तुम्हारा ही
कुछ ग़ज़ब तो नहीं हुआ साहब
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Your face is an intoxicating delight; has something truly magnificent happened, sir?
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the overwhelming effect of the beloved's speech. The poet suggests that the beloved's mouth itself is a source of grace and blessing (Mehar-afza). Yet, the speaker asks, 'Has something gone wrong, sir?' This rhetorical question implies that the sheer beauty and sweetness of those words are so potent, they feel almost disastrous, like a magnificent, intoxicating storm.
