Since our hearts separated, we only know how to cry. Whenever such a beloved departs, we cry.

This profound couplet captures the irreversible habit of sorrow. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that since the heart endured separation, crying has become a natural, unavoidable reflex. It's not just about the pain of departure; it's about the state of the soul that has been permanently altered by loss. The tears are no longer just a reaction; they are a permanent part of the self, a deep-seated rhythm of the heart.
