The heavy desires that people harbor for you are the very diseases or troubles they cultivate within their own hearts.

This profound couplet speaks to the self-destructive nature of unfulfilled desires. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if people constantly demand something lofty, difficult, or unattainable from the beloved, they are not actually receiving grace. Instead, the act of demanding it creates deep emotional turmoil, pain, and chronic suffering within their own hearts. It’s a warning about the cost of excessive expectation.
