रोना यही है मुझ को तेरी जफ़ा से हर-दम
ये दिल-दिमाग़ दोनों कब तक वफ़ा करेंगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
To weep constantly because of your cruelty, this is my fate; how long will both my heart and mind remain loyal?
Explanation
This couplet captures the raw agony of being overwhelmed by a beloved's cruelty (jafa). The poet confesses that crying is his only recourse against such pain. But the deeper pain lies in the question: how long can both his heart and his intellect remain loyal to this painful love? It's a profound query about the limits of human endurance and the self's capacity to sustain faithfulness.
