You will forget the covenant of Farhad and Qais if we reach the streams of broken hearts.

This profound couplet speaks to the immense weight of emotional commitment. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if he encounters the deep sorrow of broken hearts, he might forget the promises he once made, even those legendary promises made to great lovers like Farhad and Qais. It’s a beautiful acknowledgment that human suffering can sometimes overshadow even the grandest vows of love.
