Hain Ghav Dil Par Apne Tegh-e-zaban Se Sab Ki\Tab Dard Hai Hamare Ai — Mir Taqi Mir
हैं घाव दिल पर अपने तेग़-ए-ज़बाँ से सब की
तब दर्द है हमारे ऐ 'मीर' हर सुख़न में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My heart bears wounds from everyone's sharp tongue; Oh Mir, pain resides in every utterance of ours.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the pain of emotional wounds inflicted by words. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the deepest scars on the heart aren't caused by physical harm or grand betrayals, but by the sharp 'sword of the tongue' (tegh-e-zabaan) of others. The pain is so pervasive that the speaker feels it in every single word, highlighting the devastating power of gossip and harsh speech.
