Don't ask about my teeth on your lips; if I speak it, you will be ready to fight.

This couplet is a masterful display of defensive poetry, a warning disguised as a flirtation. Mir Taqi Mir is telling his beloved, 'Don't ask about my teeth on your lips.' The implication is clear: if you push me, if you ask too much, I will retaliate fiercely. It’s not a physical threat, but a warning of emotional intensity—a passion that, once unleashed, is impossible to control. It’s the beautiful danger of deep love.
