Ye Be-qarrariyan Na Kabu In Nay-dekhiyan — Mir Taqi Mir
ये बे-क़रारियाँ न कभू इन नय-देखीयाँ
जाँ-काहीयाँ हमारी बहुत सहल जानियाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Our lives have endured many such restless nights and never-seen dawns (experiences).
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the nature of emotional addiction. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the heart becomes so accustomed to the cycle of restlessness and new, thrilling experiences that it finds peace not in stability, but in the very turmoil itself. It’s a poignant realization: the soul gets used to the ache. Even if the pain changes, the heart recognizes the familiar rhythm of longing.
