बरसों से तू यूँ है कि घटा जब उमँड आई
तब दीदा-ए-तर से भी हुआ एक झड़ाका
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
After years, your demeanor remained the same, until when the clouds gathered, your eyes also flashed with sudden brilliance.
Explanation
This profound couplet describes the overwhelming nature of long-term love. The poet says that for years, the beloved maintained a consistent presence. But when the emotional intensity reached a peak—like gathering clouds—even the mere glance (deeda-e-tar) from the beloved's eyes caused a sudden, electrifying shock! It speaks of a love that is both chronic and dramatically intense, capable of stunning the lover at any moment.
