Mar Gaya Kohakan Isi Gham Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
मर गया कोहकन इसी ग़म में
आँख ओझल पहाड़ ओझल है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In this sorrow, the kohl has died; the eye and the mountain are both veiled.
Explanation
This profound couplet beautifully captures the depth of emotional turmoil. The poet suggests that the agony of grief is so overwhelming that it makes everything seem invisible, even what is physically visible. When the heart is broken, the pain blinds you, making even the grandest, most visible mountains appear distant and out of sight. It's a perfect metaphor for how intense sorrow clouds our perception of reality.
