Ab Kya Karun Main Fitrat-e-nakam-e-ishq Ko — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
What should I do now with this unsuccessful nature of love, when all the tragedies and misfortunes have come to suit me?
Explanation
This couplet captures the bittersweet irony of growing completely accustomed to sorrow. The lover has endured so many heartbreaks and tragedies that instead of shattering him, disaster has become his natural comfort zone. Love is conventionally meant to torture the lover with longing, but here, the poet playfully wonders what to do with his ill-fated heart now that catastrophe itself feels like home.
