अफ़्सोस की भी चश्म थी उन से ख़िलाफ़-ए-अक़्ल
बार-ए-इलाक़ा से तो 'अबस पुश्त-ए-ख़म हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Even the regret had a lens against them, contrary to reason; from the flood of affection, 'Abas' became behind the curtain.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of emotional wounds that defy rational thought. The poet suggests that even regret (Afsos) possessed a perspective contrary to logic. But the pain of abandoning the beloved's domain (ilaqa) was a deep, irreparable wound. It captures that specific agony—the feeling that some losses are so profound they transcend mere logic, leaving only a deep ache in the soul.
