Jeb Aur Aasteen Se Rone Ka Kaam Guzra — Mir Taqi Mir

जेब और आस्तीं से रोने का काम गुज़रा सारा निचोड़ अब तो दामन पर आ रहा है
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The act of weeping from the pocket and sleeve is over; the entire essence is now reaching the hem.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks about the inevitable surfacing of truth and emotion. The poet suggests that the era of subtle, contained sorrow—the kind of grief kept hidden in one's pockets or sleeves—is over. Now, all the deep, uncontainable essence, the 'nichod,' is flowing out onto the hem. It signifies a moment when reality, or a profound emotion, can no longer be concealed; it must be openly faced!
