Dashanon Se Kisi Ka Itna Zaalim — Mir Taqi Mir

दशनों से किसी का इतना ज़ालिम टुकड़े टुकड़े जिगर न होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

No one's cruelty should be so excessive that it tears a person's heart into pieces.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the devastating impact of emotional cruelty. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere 'teeth' (dashes) of someone so malicious are enough to shatter the heart. It’s not about physical harm, but the deep, irreparable pain inflicted by deceit and malice. It captures the vulnerability of the soul when faced with betrayal, making the pain seem absolute and unending.
