The Shayar says that all my friends died in the beginning; what end has love brought?

This profound couplet speaks to the disillusionment of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the journey of love itself was fatal; the beloveds (or perhaps the feelings for them) died right at the start. He questions what ultimate destination or limit (intihā) love could possibly reach, implying that the struggle and loss were more defining than any supposed reward. It's a deep meditation on the ephemeral nature of passion.
