Taaqat Nahin Hai Jee Mein Nay Ab Jigar Raha Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
ताक़त नहीं है जी में नय अब जिगर रहा है
फिर दिल सितम-रसीदा इक ज़ुल्म कर रहा है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My heart has no strength left, no life remains in my chest, yet this cruel-stricken heart commits a sin of torment.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the paradox of internal struggle. The speaker acknowledges their profound weakness—their heart is barely functioning. Yet, the heart, having become desensitized to pain and accustomed to suffering, continues to inflict its own cruelty. It suggests that sometimes, the deepest wound comes not from others, but from the hardened self.
