Dil-e-zakhm-khurda Ke Aur Ik Lagaayi / Mudaadwa Kya Khoob Ghayal Ka — Mir Taqi Mir
दिल-ए-ज़ख़्म-ख़ुर्दा के और इक लगाई
मुदावा क्या ख़ूब घायल का अपने
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Another wound has been applied to the wounded heart; what kind of healing is this for one who is already hurt?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the irony of healing. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the heart of the 'wound-healer' itself is prone to injury. How can one truly cure deep wounds, especially when the very act of healing, or the hand that guides it, causes more pain? It’s a reflection on the complexity of emotional relationships, where the source of comfort often becomes the source of greatest pain.
