sherKuch Alfaaz

hum hue tum hue ki 'mir' hue us ki zulfon ke sab asir hue whether me or you, or miir it may be are prisoners of her tresses for eternity meer taqi meer says love levels everyone: speaker, listener, even the poet himself. the beloved’s “tresses” are a metaphor for the snares of beauty that bind the heart. the couplet carries a half-playful, half-resigned tone: no one escapes this captivity. it suggests an inevitable, shared fate in عشق.
