Kabhu Aate Hain Aap Mein Tujh Bin — Mir Taqi Mir
कभू आते हैं आप में तुझ बिन
घर में हम मेहमान होते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When you are not here, I am like a guest in my own home.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the profound emotional dependency of a lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's absence makes the world, even one's own home, feel alien and empty. It's not just about physical presence; it's about the emotional anchor. When the beloved is far, the poet feels like a stranger in his own life, wandering in a state of constant yearning.
