इक सिसकता है एक मरता है हर तरफ़ ज़ुल्म हो रहा है याँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

One person is sobbing in pain while another is dying. Everywhere in this world, cruelty and suffering are unfolding relentlessly.

Explanation

This profound couplet paints a bleak picture of widespread suffering. Mir Taqi Mir observes a pervasive misery—where one person is merely whimpering, and another is dying. The line 'Har taraf zulm ho raha hai yahaan' emphasizes that this despair is not localized; it is an all-encompassing state of oppression and pain. It is a timeless commentary on the human condition under duress.
