दीदार ख़्वाह उस के कम हों तो शोर कम हो
हर सुब्ह इक क़यामत उठती है उस के दर से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If the desire to see her lessens, the noise will diminish; every morning, a catastrophe rises from her threshold.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the agonizing nature of intense love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if the longing to see the beloved were to diminish, the emotional turmoil—the 'noise'—would also cease. But the reality is far harder: even when the desire slightly fades, the beloved's mere existence, their 'dar' (doorway), is enough to ignite a daily catastrophe. It speaks to a love that is perpetual, a constant source of exquisite pain and upheaval.
