Jo Ye Dil Hai To Kya Sar-anjaam Hoga — Mir Taqi Mir

जो ये दिल है तो क्या सर-अंजाम होगा ता-ख़ाक भी ख़ाक आराम होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

If this is the heart, what will be the end result? Even turning to dust will be a peaceful rest.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the enduring nature of the heart's emotions. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere physical end—turning to ashes—is not the ultimate measure of life. The heart, once deeply felt, possesses a life that transcends even death. It implies that the pain, the love, and the memories held within the soul are permanent, far stronger than the body itself.
