Ab To Us Ki Gali Mein Khaar Hai Lek — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Now, there is a thorn in his street, O Mir, how could I lose someone so dear?
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the essence of disillusionment. The poet says that the beloved's domain is now fraught with danger—a mix of beauty (the pond) and pain (the thorns). He concludes with a heartbreaking realization: the 'dear one' was never truly worth the life or devotion given. It's a profound lament about the painful reality that often follows the initial romance, suggesting that the pain was self-inflicted by the depth of his own love.
