Qatl Hi Kar Ki Us Mein Rahat Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
क़त्ल ही कर कि उस में राहत है
लाज़िम उस काम में मुरूर नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Kill him, for there is relief in it; it is not necessary to wander in that deed.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of utter emotional exhaustion. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that rather than continuing to struggle or wander in a painful situation, it is better to accept the finality—the 'death' of the emotion. The relief found in ending the struggle is far greater than the pain of the struggle itself. It's a powerful cry of surrender to despair.
