Ask those who draw the curtain of separation; they give away hearts, and they let their own minds wander.
This profound couplet speaks to the universal experience of separation (Hijr). Mir Taqi Mir suggests that to truly understand the agony of love, one must consult those who have themselves been tormented by the threads of separation. They are the only ones who can accurately describe the process of giving one's heart and the subsequent pain of its decay. It's a testament to shared suffering, where only the experienced know the depth of the wound.
