ऐसा असीर ख़स्ता-जिगर मैं सुना नहीं हर आह 'मीर' जिस की है जाँ-काह कौन है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The poet says that he has never heard of such a sick and frail heart whose suffering's depth anyone could understand.

Explanation

In this couplet, Mir Taqi Mir speaks of a profound, almost unique suffering that transcends mere description. He claims that his heart is so fragile and worn out that its depth of pain is incomprehensible to anyone else. This isn't just sadness; it is a declaration of a solitary emotional burden. It beautifully captures the poet's signature melancholy and deep self-awareness.
