Gila Hijr Ka Sun Ke Kehne Laga — Mir Taqi Mir
गिला हिज्र का सुन के कहने लगा
हमारे तुम्हारे जुदाई नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Hearing the complaint of separation, he began to say, 'It is not our fault that we are parted now.'
Explanation
This profound couplet explores the complexity of separation. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that when a lover complains about the pain of distance, the beloved replies that the separation isn't solely the lover's fault, nor is it solely the beloved's. It implies a detachment—a separation that belongs to neither party, making the pain universal and inescapable. It’s a deeply philosophical take on heartbreak.
