Kaam Us Ka Hai Khoon-afshani Har-dam Teri Furqat Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
It is your desire that I shed blood every moment in your separation; now, look at my eyes, they are a fountain of blood.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the agonizing depth of separation (firaq). Mir Taqi Mir elevates the pain of separation to a physical, almost grotesque level. He suggests that the suffering isn't just emotional; it's a constant, bleeding wound. The poet dramatically describes his eyes, stating they are no longer merely tear-filled, but a 'fountain of blood,' illustrating the sheer, unbearable intensity of his heartache. It is a masterful depiction of despair.
