Kiya Kharab Taghaful Ne Us Ke Warna Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
किया ख़राब तग़ाफ़ुल ने उस के वर्ना 'मीर'
हर एक बात पे दुश्नाम-ओ-संग था आगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If it were not for the beloved's negligence, every word would have been a source of enmity and companionship.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the devastating impact of neglect. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if it weren't for this terrible carelessness (तग़ाफ़ुल), the speaker would be fine. But life, he says, is a battlefield where every single interaction, every single moment, presents a mix of enemies and friends. It speaks to the overwhelming complexity and emotional exhaustion of modern existence.
