Kabhoo Jaaegi Jo Udhar Saba To Ye Kahiyo Us Se Ki Bewafa Magar Ek Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When the time comes for her to go that way, please tell her that I am unfaithful, but 'Mir' was a broken heart, among the thorns in your fresh garden.
Explanation
This poignant couplet captures the bitter irony of heartbreak. Mir Taqi Mir is telling the beloved, if she ever leaves for a beautiful place, she should know that she is unfaithful. However, the true pain isn't the accusation; it's the realization that even in the most beautiful garden she inhabits, there is a thorn—a constant source of pain for the heartbroken lover. It speaks to the depth of pain that remains even after the departure.
