Muttasil Rote Hi Rahiye To Bujhe Aatish-e-dil; / Ek Do Aansu To Aur — Mir Taqi Mir
मुत्तसिल रोते ही रहिए तो बुझे आतिश-ए-दिल
एक दो आँसू तो और आग लगा जाते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you keep crying endlessly, the heart's fire will die down; but just a couple more tears will set it ablaze again.
Explanation
This profound couplet explores the paradoxical nature of grief. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that continuous weeping might temporarily quench the intense fire of the heart. However, he delivers a devastating realization: the pain is so deeply ingrained that even the smallest trigger—a mere couple of tears—is enough to reignite the burning passion and sorrow all over again.
