क्या जानते थे ऐसे दिन आ जाएँगे शिताब
रोते गुज़रतियाँ हैं हमें रातें सारियाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The poet did not know that days like these would arrive, when nights are spent weeping.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the sudden onset of sorrow. The poet laments that he never anticipated days of such deep coldness or despair. The 'shitaab' (chill/winter) represents emotional hardship, and the realization that all nights are spent weeping is a profound sorrow. It’s a universal feeling of vulnerability when life unexpectedly turns cold and painful.
