आठों पहर लगा ही फिरे है तुम्हारे साथ
कुछ इन दिनों मैं ग़ैर बहुत यार हो गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Literally, it means that I have been wandering with you throughout all times, and in these recent days, I have become a stranger to many friends.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the intoxicating effect of deep love. The poet says that spending all the time with the beloved has changed him; he has become strangely attached to everyone, including strangers. It’s a beautiful paradox—the intensity of one pure love is so overwhelming that it dilutes the boundaries of the self, making the lover view the world through a haze of shared emotion and affection. It’s a testament to love's power to redefine reality.
