Hi...
इश्क़ पर ज़ोर नहीं है ये वो आतिश 'ग़ालिब' कि लगाए न लगे और बुझाए न बने
Passion is a fire over which no one has control. That is, neither is it within anyone's power to light that fire, nor is it possible to extinguish it once lit.
Meaning the poet cannot make his beloved love him, nor can he stop loving her

nukta-chin hai gham-e-dil us ko sunae na bane kya bane baat jahan baat banae na bane
main bulata to hun us ko magar ai jazba-e-dil us pe ban jae kuchh aisi ki bin aae na bane
khel samjha hai kahin chhoD na de bhul na jae kash yun bhi ho ki bin mere satae na bane
ghair phirta hai liye yun tere KHat ko ki agar koi puchhe ki ye kya hai to chhupae na bane
is nazakat ka bura ho wo bhale hain to kya hath aawen to unhen hath lagae na bane
kah sake kaun ki ye jalwagari kis ki hai parda chhoDa hai wo us ne ki uThae na bane
maut ki rah na dekhun ki bin aae na rahe tum ko chahun ki na aao to bulae na bane
bojh wo sar se gira hai ki uThae na uThe kaam wo aan paDa hai ki banae na bane
ishq par zor nahin hai ye wo aatish 'ghalib' ki lagae na lage aur bujhae na bane
