Pooch Mat Ah Ashiqon Ki Maash — Mir Taqi Mir
पूछ मत आह आशिक़ों की मआश
रोज़ उन का भी शाम होता है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not ask about the sustenance of lovers, for even theirs has an end.
Explanation
This profound couplet suggests that the intense emotional turmoil and suffering of the lover (Aashiq) are not constant. Mir Taqi Mir tells us not to question the state of the lovers' hearts, because even their passionate days eventually reach an evening—a moment of quiet reflection. It speaks to the cyclical nature of pain, showing that even the deepest grief finds a pause.
