Miri Zindagi To Guzri Tire Hijr Ke Sahare — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
My life passed leaning on the support of separation from you, but my beloved, even my death requires some excuse now.
Explanation
What a heartbreaking paradox this couplet captures! The poet confesses that it wasn't joy but the lingering ache of separation that ironically kept him alive all these years—the pain of absence itself became his anchor. Now, at life's very edge, he tenderly hints that even dying isn't that simple; it feels as though death itself awaits some pretext, perhaps a final parting glance from the beloved, to close the chapter.
