Love, O Meer, is a heavy stone; when will it rise from your inebriated state?

Mir Taqi Mir describes the burden of love as a heavy stone. He questions when this crushing weight will lift from the state of the beloved, who is constantly changing and unsteady. It’s a profound lament about the instability of love and the suffering caused by a heart that cannot settle. The stone represents the permanence of the pain, while the 'unsteady state' highlights the source of the agony—the beloved's unpredictable nature.
