Kis Din Daaman Kheench Ke Un Ne Yaar Se Apna Kaam Liya — Mir Taqi Mir
किस दिन दामन खींच के उन ने यार से अपना काम लिया
मुद्दत गुज़री देखते हम को 'मीर' भी इक नाकारा है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
On what day did they pull the curtain and do their deed to the beloved? So much time has passed observing us that even 'Mir' is a failure.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the deep wound of abandonment. Mir Taqi Mir asks: what day did you withdraw your affection and take what you wanted? The second line is the emotional punch: after such a long wait, even the poet, 'Mir', feels utterly useless and broken. It's a raw expression of shattered self-worth caused by a lover's sudden departure.
