Baitth Kar Meer Jahaan Khoob Na Roya Hove — Mir Taqi Mir
बैठ कर 'मीर' जहाँ ख़ूब न रोया होवे
ऐसी कूचे में नहीं है तिरे जानाँ यक जा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The poet says that, O Beloved, there is no alley where you have sat without shedding tears.
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful piece of emotional irony. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is telling his beloved that the supposed place—an alley where tears cannot flow—is a myth. He challenges the beloved's supposed emotional immunity, implying that true emotion, especially sorrow, always finds a way to surface. It's a poignant reminder that no heart is truly impervious to pain.
