तंग आए हैं दिल उस जी से उठा बैठेंगे
भूखों मरते हैं कुछ अब यार भी खा बैठेंगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My heart is fed up with that soul, I shall rise and leave it; even friends, who are starving, I shall consume them now.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the desperate state of a heart that has been pushed too far. The poet suggests that if the beloved's actions finally exhaust the lover's patience, the heart will rise up and confront them. More painfully, he speaks to the universal pain of betrayal—the realization that when suffering is deep enough, even the bonds of friendship cannot protect you. It is a raw cry of emotional exhaustion.
