Us Ke Gaye Pe Dil Ki Kharabi Na Pochhiye — Mir Taqi Mir
उस के गए पे दिल की ख़राबी न पोछिए
जैसे कसो का कोई नगर हो लुटा हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not attempt to repair the broken heart of someone who has departed; it is like a city of brass that has been looted.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the irreversible damage caused by separation. Mir Taqi Mir tells us not to try and 'cleanse' the heart's flaws when the beloved leaves. The comparison to a looted city (Kaso) emphasizes that the wound is not superficial; it is total, structural devastation. The heart, once broken by love, is left in a state of ruin, a loss that cannot be simply restored.
