Even in captivity, the fame of my passion did not diminish; now, companionship is the remedy for this restless heart.
This couplet speaks to the enduring nature of deep passion. Mir Taqi Mir says that even within the confines of a prison, the noise and echo of his intense love (junoon) never quieted down. It suggests that true passion is inescapable. But the second line brings a twist: now, there is a remedy for this restless state. It's a beautiful reflection on accepting one's madness, finding peace even if the passion remains a constant companion.
