सीने में तीर उस के टूटे हैं बे-निहायत सुराख़ पड़ गए हैं सारे मिरे जिगर में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Countless arrows of the beloved have broken deep inside my chest, leaving my heart completely riddled with holes.

Explanation

This profound couplet paints a vivid picture of emotional agony. Mir Taqi Mir uses the metaphor of arrows (teer) to describe the wounds left by the beloved's indifference or actions. He suggests that the pain is not from a single blow, but from countless, cumulative wounds that have pierced his very core—his 'jigar' (heart). It speaks to a suffering that is overwhelming and inescapable.
