तिरे विसाल के हम शौक़ में हों आवारा
अज़ीज़ दोस्त सभों की जुदाइयाँ देखीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the pursuit of your union, I wander aimlessly, Dear friend, I have witnessed the separation of everyone.
Explanation
This couplet is a beautiful meditation on the nature of longing and devotion. The speaker states that his wandering life (being 'awara') is merely a passionate pursuit for the beloved's presence. However, he immediately grounds this personal passion in a universal truth: he has witnessed the pain of separation from every single person. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the pain of separation (जुदाई) is not just a personal heartbreak, but a fundamental, deeply experienced human condition.
