You humiliate me in every way, 'Mir', because there is a kind of degradation that happens in love.

This couplet captures the profound agony of the lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's cruelty is not an anomaly, but rather an inherent part of the love experience itself. The pain, the humiliation (zaleel), is so deeply intertwined with the concept of 'ishq' (passionate love) that it becomes a kind of expected, almost defining feature. It’s a heartbreaking acknowledgment that love, by its very nature, contains suffering.
