sherKuch Alfaaz

be-khudi le gai kahan hum ko der se intizar hai apna the couplet presents self-forgetfulness as a force that makes the speaker lose direction and sense of identity. the striking metaphor is that “i” has become separated from “myself,” as if the real self stands elsewhere, waiting. it expresses regret and inner emptiness after being swept away by passion, grief, or intoxication. the emotional core is alienation from one’s own being and a late realization of what was left behind.
