Mar Gayin Teri Judaai Mein Hazaaron Hasratein — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
In the sorrow of being separated from you, thousands of desires and longings perished. This destructive, plundering love has turned my heart into a graveyard.
Explanation
In the pain of being apart from you, thousands of my desires have quietly died away. One by one, every longing and hope I carried in my heart gave up its life. The poet calls love a plunderer, a destroyer that leaves nothing standing. This cruel love has turned his heart into a graveyard, filled with the buried dreams that never came true. It is a deeply moving image. Instead of a heart full of life and wishes, there is now only a silent burial ground of lost hopes. The couplet captures how separation can empty a person from within, leaving behind just the memory of all they once wished for.
