When anyone emerges with the zeal of the waters, a memory of the gaze is evoked, but who remembers the sorrow of the spectacle?

This profound couplet explores the nature of sorrow and memory. Mir Taqi Mir asks a rhetorical question: if someone emerges from the vibrant, exciting waters of life's pleasures (the 'joosh-e-zanaan paani'), how can the tears shed be merely tears of the eyes? It suggests that the sorrow felt is not a superficial reaction to immediate events, but a deep, enduring grief that transcends the moment.
