क्या मुआफ़िक़ हो दवा इश्क़ के बीमार के साथ जी ही जाते नज़र आए हैं इस आज़ार के साथ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

How can one be compatible with the illness of love? To live along with this sorrow, it seems impossible.

Explanation

This profound couplet explores the agony of deep, incurable love. The poet questions whether any medicine (dawa) can truly cure the ailment of the lover. The answer, devastatingly, is no—the suffering is so intrinsic to existence that the mere act of living feels like a continuous torment. It speaks to that beautiful, painful paradox where love itself becomes the inescapable fate.
