बे-यार शहर दिल का वीरान हो रहा है दिखलाई दे जहाँ तक मैदान हो रहा है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Oh beloved, my heart is becoming deserted. I wish to see where the fields extend.

Explanation

This profound couplet captures the essence of emotional desolation. Mir Taqi Mir says that without the beloved, the 'city' of the heart is becoming utterly deserted. The poet is lost, wandering through the ruins of his own emotions, and desperately pleads for guidance. He doesn't want to wander aimlessly; he simply needs to know where the open, clear path lies, even if it's just a vision.
