Tum Ne Hamesha Jaur-o-sitam Be-sabab Kiye — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
You have always committed injustice and cruelty without reason; it was your own arrogance that never questioned the reason.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the pain of unexplained cruelty. The poet observes that the beloved (or life itself) has always inflicted pain and injustice without any apparent reason. He then questions the self, suggesting that perhaps the fault lies not in the actions of others, but in our own inherent character or worthiness—a deeper, internal flaw that was never questioned.
