Main Bhi Duniya Mein Hoon Ik Naala-pareshaan Yak Ja — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I too am a troubled stream in this world, O dear; let all the streams pass by. For all the streams upon me, my heart is in a hundred pieces, O dear.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the essence of profound emotional exhaustion. Mir Taqi Mir addresses the world—or perhaps a beloved—as a restless, fragmented stream. He declares that while he is emotionally unstable, his heart is shattered into a hundred pieces. It's a desperate plea: to all the currents of life, to leave him alone, for he is too broken to endure any more turbulence.
