From your lashes, what memory did we glean? These sharp arrows divided our hearts between.

This beautiful couplet is a masterclass in contrasting beauty and pain. Mir Taqi Mir asks: What did your mere eyelashes, your gentle glance, even mean to us? He dismisses the superficial beauty, suggesting that the true damage wasn't in the sight, but in the emotional wounds. The 'swords' (बर्छियों) represent the painful, unseen pangs of separation and heartbreak that tore apart their souls, leaving nothing but broken pieces.
