Dil Dene Ki Aisi Harkat Un Ne Nahi Ki — Mir Taqi Mir

दिल देने की ऐसी हरकत उन ने नहीं की जब तक जियेगा 'मीर' पशेमान रहेगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

They did not commit an act of giving a heart; as long as 'Mir' lives, he will remain regretful.

Explanation

This profound couplet captures the essence of irreversible emotional pain. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the pain of losing one's heart, of experiencing such deep sorrow, is a permanent condition. He implies that regret is not a temporary feeling, but a lifelong companion. Until the poet (Mir) himself departs, this feeling of regret will remain etched in his soul, proving that some wounds never truly heal.
