ऐसे वहशी कहाँ हैं ऐ ख़ूबाँ
'मीर' को तुम अबस उदास किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, where are those wild ones? My 'Mir', you have saddened us greatly.
Explanation
This powerful couplet is a direct address from the poet to the beloved. The poet accuses the beloved of being overly volatile, unpredictable, and dramatic ('wahshi'). He suggests that the beloved's mere act of deliberately upsetting him ('udas kiya') is far more impactful than any grand gesture. It captures the pain of emotional manipulation in love, where the beloved's mood swings are the greatest torment.
