Jis Se Khoi Thi Neend Mir Ne Kal — Mir Taqi Mir
जिस से खोई थी नींद 'मीर' ने कल
इब्तिदा फिर वही कहानी की
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The thing from which 'Mir' lost his sleep yesterday is the same thing that has started the story again.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the inescapable nature of memory and longing. Mir Taqi Mir captures the feeling that even if a moment of peace or oblivion (sleep) has passed, the source of the heartache remains unchanged. The beginning of the story—the pain, the memory, the beloved—is perpetually the same. It suggests that some wounds never truly heal, they just wait for the next night to resurface.
