Nahim Ate Kaso Ki Ankhom Mem / Ho Ke Ashiq Bahut Haqir Hue — Mir Taqi Mir
नहीं आते कसो की आँखों में
हो के आशिक़ बहुत हक़ीर हुए
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Since the love did not arrive in your eyes, the lovers have become very worthless.
Explanation
This poignant couplet delves into the crushing self-worth of the lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's eyes are incapable of reflecting true emotion, tears, or compassion. The deeper pain, however, is the realization that the mere act of loving has rendered the lover utterly worthless in the eyes of the world and the beloved. It's a profound lament about emotional invisibility.
