Guzre Hai Dekhe Kyunkar Hamari Us Bewafa Se Ne Rasm Ne Raah — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Why do we keep looking back at her, who has already passed us by, or at that unfaithful one, or that path?
Explanation
This poignant couplet questions the very nature of memory and pain. Mir Taqi Mir asks: Why do we keep revisiting the path of someone who proved to be unfaithful? It speaks to the inescapable pull of lost love, where the memory itself becomes a ritual—a painful custom we cannot seem to break. The poet suggests that some wounds are so deep, we keep looking back at the source of the ache, even knowing better.
