फिरता है 'मीर' तो जो फाड़े हुए गरेबाँ
किस किस सितम-ज़दे ने दामाँ यार खींचा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When Meer wanders, whose torn garment is it, which cruel tyrant pulled the curtain/pallu of my beloved?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the pain of wandering and the relentless nature of love. Mir Taqi Mir says that if I wander through these torn, ragged clothes (metaphor for a broken life), it is not my fault. Instead, he asks: which cruel-hearted person (sitam-zade) pulled the hem of my beloved's garment? It suggests that the suffering isn't random; it's the direct consequence of the beloved's careless actions, leaving the lover exposed and wandering.
