It is better if this blood-stained land is subdued, and it is not good for blood to flow upon the face.

This profound couplet speaks to the agony of suppressed grief. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that it is better to restrain the flow of tears—which he likens to blood—than to let them fall openly. It is a deeply emotional statement about dignity and pain. The tears are not just water; they are a visible hemorrhage of the soul. The poet advises that some wounds are too deep to ever be shown, demanding a quiet, internal endurance of sorrow.
