Dad Le Chorun Main Sayyad Se Apni Lekin — Mir Taqi Mir
दाद ले छोड़ूँ मैं सय्याद से अपनी लेकिन
ज़ोफ़ से मेरे तईं ताक़त-ए-फ़रयाद नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Though I leave my beloved with Sayyad, I have no strength of lamentation from Zauf.
Explanation
This profound couplet explores the paradox of sorrow. Mir Taqi Mir says that he can leave his pain associated with 'Sayyad' (a specific source or person), but the sorrow linked to 'Zouf' (a deeper, more intense anguish) is beyond his capacity to express or bear. It speaks to a deep-seated, almost existential pain that is too overwhelming to articulate or even face. A truly masterful depiction of emotional paralysis.
