ग़म-ए-हिज्र रक्खेगा बे-ताब दिल को हमें कुढ़ते कुढ़ते कुछ आज़ार होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The heart, burdened by the pain of separation, will be worn out by the torment, and suffer much.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the agonizing cycle of separation. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the pain of being apart (gham-e-hijr) is so overwhelming that the heart remains restless. The poet implies that perhaps, through the very act of enduring constant emotional turmoil and distress, a strange form of relief or numbness might eventually be achieved. It’s a deep exploration of emotional exhaustion.
