The dust of the ditch has arisen, O Mine, from the mountains; even the dust of 'Meer' is a lover of the riders.
This profound couplet suggests that the impact of true love, or 'Ishq,' is so powerful it transcends reality. Mir Taqi Mir says that the mere dust (gubar) surrounding his passion has become captivated by the travelers. It's a beautiful hyperbole, suggesting that his emotional aura is so pervasive and magnetic that even the dust particles are drawn to the romance and journey of life. A truly universal feeling!
