Yan Hijr Aur Hum Mein Bigdi Hai Kab Ki Sohbat — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
How much has the companionship between us, spoiled by separation, deteriorated? In the wounds of the heart and the salt of tears, how much longer will there be any pleasure?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir questions the very nature of suffering. The poet suggests that the relationship between him and separation (Hijr) has deteriorated over time. He asks: how long can one find enjoyment in the pain of the heart and the salt of tears? It's a realization that pain, once a companion, has become exhausting and meaningless.
