घर आए हो फ़क़ीरों के तो आओ बैठो लुत्फ़ करो
क्या है जान बिन अपने कने सो इन क़दमों पे निसार है आज
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you have come to the abode of the faqirs, please come and rest here. Today, my life is dedicated and offered at your feet.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of unconditional love and humility. The speaker, acknowledging that they are 'beggars' (in terms of worldly possessions), welcomes the beloved with open arms. The second line is the emotional core: the poet declares that life itself has no meaning without the beloved. Their entire existence, their very breath, is offered as a sacrifice at the beloved's feet. It is a perfect depiction of self-abandonment at the altar of love.
