This burning sorrow, the pain within the chest, is like a terrible affliction. It is like a fire, and nobody knows what it truly is.

This couplet beautifully captures the agony of unexpressed, internal pain. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the burning agony within the chest (Saz-e-Daroon) is a curse, a mysterious affliction. It’s not just physical pain; it's a deep, unknown fire that consumes the soul. The poet is grappling with a suffering that defies definition, making it one of the most profound expressions of heartache in Urdu poetry.
