यूँ सुना जा है कि करता है सफ़र का अज़्म-जज़्म
साथ अब बेगाना वज़्ओं के हमारा आश्ना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I hear that he is determined to undertake a journey, but now our familiar companion is a stranger to us.
Explanation
This profound couplet explores the paradox of emotional distance. The poet is saying that just hearing the news of someone's determined journey (safar ka azm) makes even the beloved's presence feel alien. The familiar comfort (aashna) of the beloved has become a stranger (begaana). It speaks to how profound change, or even the mere rumor of separation, can erode the intimacy of a relationship.
