यहाँ तो ख़ुद तिरी हस्ती है इश्क़ को दरकार वो और होंगे जिन्हें मुस्कुरा के लूट लिया
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

Here, love requires your very existence itself; they must be someone else whom you enchanted and won over with just a smile.

Explanation

The poet playfully yet firmly raises the stakes of love, speaking directly to the beloved with deep conviction. A mere captivating smile might be enough to conquer ordinary admirers, but in this sanctum of true devotion, love demands nothing less than your entire existence. It is a stunning contrast between fleeting infatuation and the total, soul-deep surrender required in genuine passion.
