मैं गिर्या-ए-ख़ूनीं को रोके ही रहा वर्ना इक दम में ज़माने का याँ रंग बदल जाता
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

If I had not stopped the bloody mountain, the colors of the world would have changed in a moment.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the immense, almost cosmic power of profound grief. The poet suggests that his tears are not just personal sadness; they are a force of nature. If he were to release the 'blood-tears' (गिर्या-ए-ख़ूनीं), the very atmosphere and mood of the world would instantly change. It's a powerful declaration that the depth of his sorrow is so overwhelming that it cannot be contained by mere human existence.
