बनी न अपनी तो उस जंग-जू से हरगिज़ 'मीर'
लड़ाईं जब से हम आँखें लड़ाइयाँ देखीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I will never abandon that struggle, since the day our eyes witnessed battles.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the trauma of love. Mir Taqi Mir is saying that he will never return to the emotional battlefield (jang-ju) of love. Why? Because he has seen eyes that themselves look like they are fighting battles. It’s a profound lament about the pain and conflict that can be hidden even in the deepest gaze of a beloved.
