पाँव मेरा कल्बा-ए-अहज़ाँ में अब रहता नहीं
रफ़्ता रफ़्ता उस तरफ़ जाने की मुझ को लत हुई
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My foot no longer resides in the valley of sorrow; I have gradually developed an addiction to moving in that direction.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the journey from deep sorrow to a new, irresistible passion. The poet says that his feet no longer belong in the 'graveyard of sorrow' (Kalba-e-Ahzaan). This signifies a profound change. He hasn't forgotten his pain, but he has found a new craving—a compulsion—to move towards something different. It’s a powerful declaration of moving past grief and embracing a new life force.
