Na Ik Yaqoob Roya Is Alam Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
न इक याक़ूब रोया इस अलम में
कुआँ अंधा हुआ यूसुफ़ के ग़म में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Not a single Yaqoob wept in this world; the well became blind in the sorrow of Yusuf.
Explanation
This couplet is a breathtaking depiction of profound, cosmic sorrow. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the grief experienced by Prophet Yusuf was so immense that it didn't just affect him—it affected nature itself. The well, a symbol of life and sustenance, went blind in his sorrow. It implies that some pains are so deep they transcend human emotion and touch the very fabric of existence. A truly heartbreaking verse!
