दिलकश ऐसा कहाँ है दुश्मन-ए-जाँ
मुद्दई है प मुद्दआ है इश्क़
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Where can I find a beloved like this, O enemy of my soul? Whether I am the caller or the one being called, it is all love.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir captures the perilous and intoxicating nature of love. He asks, 'Where can one find such a charming enemy of the soul?' The 'enemy' here is the irresistible pull of love itself. The second line suggests a paradox: both the claimant (the lover) and the beloved are equally demanding and alluring. It's a declaration that love is a battlefield where mutual desire is the greatest danger!
