Such is his temperament that when he wakes in the morning, he falls asleep; such is the custom of his nature.

This couplet captures the agony of unreliability in love. Mir Taqi Mir paints a picture of a beloved who is irresistibly playful and charming, but whose affections are utterly unpredictable. He is so mischievous that even after a night of intimacy, the beloved falls asleep upon the breaking of dawn. It's not a betrayal, but a natural habit—a capricious nature that leaves the lover heartbroken and confused.
