कलियों को तू ने चट चट ऐ बाग़बाँ जो तोड़ा
बुलबुल के दिल जिगर को ज़ालिम लगी है क्या चट
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O gardener, who plucked the buds with a 'chat chat' sound, did the nightingale feel that the heart and liver were cruel?
Explanation
This couplet is a poignant complaint, sung from the heart of a suffering soul. The nightingale is addressing the 'gardener' (the beloved or fate), accusing them of plucking the delicate buds. The emotional core lies in the question: Did you treat this suffering heart and liver like a mere snack? Mir Taqi Mir uses this natural imagery to convey the deep pain of betrayal and careless cruelty.
