Jis Marz Mein Ki Jaan Jaati Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
जिस मरज़ में कि जान जाती है
दिलबरों ही की वो जुदाई है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The separation from the beloved is a disease in which life departs.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound exploration of the pain of separation, a theme central to Urdu poetry. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the ailment that truly takes life is not any physical sickness, but the agonizing separation from the beloved. It elevates 'Judaai' (separation) to a fatal disease, implying that the emotional void left by the beloved is far more destructive than any illness. It speaks to the ultimate vulnerability of the heart.
