Rakha Hai Apne Tain Rok Rok Kar Varna / Siyah Kar Dem Zamane Ko Ham — Mir Taqi Mir
रखा है अपने तईं रोक रोक कर वर्ना
सियाह कर दें ज़माने को हम जो आह करें
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We have restrained our emotions to a great extent; otherwise, if we even sigh, we will darken the world.
Explanation
This profound couplet suggests that the poet holds back a powerful emotion or action. He implies that if he were to sigh or express his true feelings, the world itself would turn dark. It's a powerful statement about the magnitude of his suppressed pain—a pain so immense it could overshadow everything. It speaks to the dramatic weight of unspoken feelings.
