बार बार उस के दर पे जाता हूँ
हालत अब इज़्तिराब की सी है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Again and again, I go to his door; my condition is one of deep unrest.
Explanation
This couplet captures the intense emotional cycle of a lover. The poet describes the recurring journey to the beloved's doorstep, yet the true pain lies not in the going, but in the internal turmoil. 'I keep going to their door... but my condition is one of restlessness.' It speaks to the agony of yearning, where the act of seeking connection only intensifies the pain of separation and anxiety.
