Dil-e-nazuk Pe Us Ke Rahm Aata Hai Mujhe Ghalib — Mirza Ghalib
दिल-ए-नाज़ुक पे उस के रहम आता है मुझे 'ग़ालिब'
न कर सरगर्म उस काफ़िर को उल्फ़त आज़माने में
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning
O Ghalib, I feel pity for her delicate heart; do not provoke that beloved into putting love to the test.
Explanation
Ghalib displays his signature blend of gentle irony and tender wit here. While he calls the beloved a cruel heartbreaker ('kafir'), he playfully worries that her delicate heart cannot endure the strain of testing true love. Testing someone's devotion is emotionally exhausting, and the poet wryly suggests that in trying to test his endurance, she might end up breaking her own fragile heart instead.
