From the passing of the spinning wheel, the stream of sorrow flows; may the house of this heart's desire fall to ruin.

Mir Taqi Mir suggests that leaving a place or a path (the charkh or nala) is merely a physical act, relatively easy. But the true struggle, the real pain, lies in enduring the ruin—the 'kharab'—of the heart's desires. It is the internal wreckage of love that proves to be the hardest burden to bear.
