So Us Ko Hum Se Faramos-kariyon Le Gae — Mir Taqi Mir
सो उस को हम से फ़रामोश-कारियों ले गए
कि उस से क़तरा-ए-ख़ूँ भी न यादगार रहा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
They took from us the forgetters who had forgotten us, to the point that not even a drop of blood remains as a memory.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir captures the profound nature of unforgettable pain here. The poet says that the world has taken away our ability to forget—our capacity for oblivion. The tragedy is that even the physical memory, like a single drop of blood, cannot be erased from our hearts. It speaks to a love or a sorrow so deep that it becomes permanently etched into the soul.
