tha mustaar husn se us ke jo nuur tha khurshid men bhi us hi ka zarra zuhur tha the couplet exalts the beloved’s beauty as the original fountain of light, making all other brightness seem secondary. “borrowed” suggests that whatever radiance the speaker (or the world) possesses is not its own, but taken from the beloved. by saying the sun itself contains only a “particle” of her manifestation, the poet intensifies the metaphor: earthly and cosmic light are mere traces of the beloved’s splendor. the emotional core is awe and surrender before an overpowering beauty.
