Itna Na Tujh Se Milte Ne Dil Ko Kho Ke Rote — Mir Taqi Mir

इतना न तुझ से मिलते ने दिल को खो के रोते जैसा किया था हम ने वैसा ही यार पाया
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Don't make my heart cry so much upon meeting you; I found a lover exactly like the one I had been (or experienced).

Explanation

This couplet captures the profound pain of reciprocal betrayal. The speaker is lamenting the pain inflicted by a lover, but the second line delivers a harsh truth: the pain they are feeling is simply a reflection of the emotional damage they themselves had previously caused. It's a powerful commentary on the cyclical nature of heartbreak, where the giver and the receiver suffer the same fate.
