नश्शा-ए-इश्क़ ले उड़ा है मुझे
अब मज़े में उड़ा रहा कुछ हूँ
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning
The intoxication of love has swept me away, and now, lost in sheer delight, I am squandering and scattering everything away.
Explanation
Here, the poet captures the dizzying ecstasy of love through a playful wordplay on 'uṛānā' (to sweep away or squander). Love has lifted him entirely off his feet, freeing him from the gravity of worldly worries. In this state of blissful surrender, whatever he is now casting to the winds—be it his senses, wealth, or cares—is done in sheer, carefree delight.
