लोहू आँखों में अब नहीं आता
ज़ख़्म अब दिल के भर गए शायद
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Blood no longer comes to the eyes, the wounds have perhaps filled the heart.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the ultimate stage of emotional exhaustion. When pain becomes chronic, the tears dry up. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the inability to cry isn't a sign of strength, but rather proof that the wounds are no longer external; they have settled deep within the heart itself. It is a profound statement about internalized suffering, where the burden becomes too heavy for mere tears to carry.
