sherKuch Alfaaz

ishq par zor nahin hai ye wo aatish 'ghaalib' ki lagae na lage aur bujhae na bane one has no power over love, it is that flame, to wit, which neither can be set alight, nor extinguished once lit the couplet presents love as an uncontrollable inner blaze. it arrives on its own terms and refuses to obey the lover’s will, so both starting and stopping it lie beyond human power. the metaphor of “fire” captures love’s consuming intensity and the speaker’s helpless surrender to it.
