करिए तो गिला किस से जैसी थी हमें ख़्वाहिश
अब वैसे ही ये अपने अरमान निकलते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
To whom should I complain, whose desire was like ours? Now our own aspirations emerge in the same way.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the inescapable nature of human longing. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is addressing the futility of complaint, suggesting that his desires (khwahish) have always been this way. There is no change, no deviation—only the steady emergence of deep-seated aspirations (armaan). It is a powerful expression of resignation, acknowledging that some emotions are simply inherent to the soul, regardless of the circumstances.
