Tumhein Bhi Chahiye Hai Kuch To Paas Chahat Ka — Mir Taqi Mir

तुम्हें भी चाहिए है कुछ तो पास चाहत का हम अपनी और से यूँ कब तलक निबाह करें
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

You also desire something, a trace of affection; how long must we sustain this promise from our own heart?

Explanation

This poignant couplet captures the dilemma of giving unconditional love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is questioning the effort required in a relationship. He asks: 'You also require something from this love, so until when can I maintain my commitment on my own?' It speaks to the exhaustion of self-sacrifice when the emotional ledger isn't balanced. It's a universal plea for mutual effort and respect in love.
