Jin Balaaon Ko Mir Sunte The — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The calamities that the Shayar 'Mir' used to hear, he saw them in this employment's sphere.
Explanation
This profound couplet suggests that the struggles or 'curses' (bala) that people used to anticipate or associate with the poet's life are now visible even in his mundane daily existence. It’s a commentary on the persistent nature of suffering; it doesn't just follow you in times of great tragedy, but it becomes a part of your everyday routine. Mir Taqi Mir uses this to show that some struggles are inescapable, regardless of your circumstances.
