वो तो नहीं इक छींटा रोने का हुआ गाहे अब दीदा-ए-तर अक्सर दरिया से उबलते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

It wasn't just a mere sprinkle of tears, but now the sight of the beloved often boils like a river.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the escalating nature of grief. The poet suggests that the pain is no longer a superficial, easily shed tear (a mere splash). Instead, the sorrow has reached a point of boiling intensity. The tears now flow constantly, like a river in turmoil, symbolizing a deep, unstoppable, and overwhelming heartbreak that permeates the soul.
