Hum Se To Kine Hi Ki Adaen Cali Gaim — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Countless charms and airs have departed from us, these cruel neglects and these undeserved graces.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the deep sorrow of emotional exhaustion. The speaker laments that their inherent charm and grace (adaaen) have drained away. They suggest that this depletion is not due to any failing on their part, but rather because of the constant lack of playful kindness (lutfiyan) and favor (meharbaniyan) from the beloved or the world. It is a heartbreaking complaint about how external neglect can diminish one's own inner light.
