Kishwar-e-ishq Ko Aabaad Na Dekha Hum Ne — Mir Taqi Mir
किश्वर-ए-इश्क़ को आबाद न देखा हम ने
हर गली-कूचे में ऊजड़ पड़े थे घर कितने
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says that he never saw the dwelling of love established; how many homes lay ruined in every alleyway.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the disillusionment of the lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that true, lasting love—the 'abode of ishq'—was never a stable place for him. Instead, he found desolation, ruin, and emptiness in every single corner of life. It’s a profound lament about the transient and often painful nature of deep emotion.
