Solace came to me only when I fell silent; do not ask about the behavior of my ill-tongued self.

This powerful couplet speaks to the paradox of emotional withdrawal. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that true peace (taskeen) only came when he stopped speaking or arguing. He warns the listener not to question the nature of his 'bad-tongued' behavior. It's a profound plea: sometimes, silence is the most eloquent answer, and the wounds of speech are deeper than the comfort of quiet.
