Dil Ki Aabadi Ki Is Had Hai Kharabi Ki Ki Na Pooch — Mir Taqi Mir
दिल की आबादी की इस हद है ख़राबी कि न पूछ
जाना जाता है कि उस राह से लश्कर निकला
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The corruption/decay of the heart is so extreme that it cannot be questioned; how could an army emerge from such a path?
Explanation
This couplet speaks to profound emotional decay. The poet suggests that the inner turmoil of the heart is so severe that even a simple departure feels monumental. It’s not just walking away; it's an 'army' leaving a path. This metaphor beautifully captures the chaos—the sense that the emotional fallout from a single decision or loss is vast and disruptive, leaving the soul in disarray.
