रस्म-ए-क़लमरव-ए-इश्क़ मत पूछ कुछ कि नाहक़
एकों की खाल खींची एकों को दार खींचा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not inquire about the ritual of love's pen, for it is impossible; one has drawn the skin of one, and drawn the curtain for one.
Explanation
This powerful couplet from Mir Taqi Mir warns against discussing the 'rituals' of love. He suggests that these customs are not beautiful, but rather brutal experiences. The lines describe extreme suffering: some people are stripped bare (their skin peeled), while others are violently dragged through life's hardships. It's a profound statement that the pain of love is too raw and terrible to be spoken aloud.
