Kis Ko Mire Haal Se Thi Aagahi — Mir Taqi Mir
किस को मिरे हाल से थी आगही
नाला-ए-शब सब को ख़बर कर गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Whom did my state ignite with fire; the stream of night revealed it to everyone.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the inevitability of truth. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that no one was truly worried about his emotional state or suffering. The night itself, like a flowing stream, revealed his secrets and his sorrow to everyone. It's a poignant reflection on how private pain eventually becomes public knowledge, leaving the poet feeling exposed and alone.
