Do not dig deep trenches of sorrow in your heart, for you have never stitched up a wound like this.

This profound couplet captures the raw agony of unhealed heartbreak. Mir Taqi Mir warns the beloved not to wound his heart with the thorns of separation, reminding them that they have never, in their life, offered him even the comfort of stitching up his wounds. It speaks to a depth of pain that transcends mere sadness; it is the pain of feeling utterly abandoned and unseen. It is a plea for mercy from a soul that has endured too much.
