Labrez — Mir Taqi Mir
लबरेज़ अश्क आँखें हर बात में रहा कीं
रो रो के काम अपने सब हम डुबो चले हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Labrez, you kept tears in your eyes regarding every matter, and by crying, we have submerged all our own affairs.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the self-sabotaging nature of excessive emotion. The poet laments that while his eyes constantly weep for every small thing, this very act of continuous crying has drowned all his personal aspirations and efforts. It's a powerful commentary on how grief, when uncontrolled, can become a barrier to success, drowning us in our own sorrow.
