Kab Talak Ji Ruke Khafa Hove / Aah Kariye Ki Tak Hawa Hove — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar asks until when you will remain displeased, and until when this gust of wind will pass.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound plea for reconciliation. The poet addresses a beloved, asking how long they intend to remain upset. The brilliance lies in the second line: 'Just sigh, and the wind will blow.' It suggests that the beloved's anger is transient, easily dispelled by the smallest gesture—a sigh. It speaks to the deep emotional exhaustion of waiting for an ending to the conflict, implying that peace is just a breath away.
