Go Na Chala Ta-miza-e-tir-e-niga — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says, 'Don't let the intoxication (or magic) of your gaze's arrow affect me, because you passed through my heart and left.'
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the lingering agony of love. Mir Taqi Mir says that even after you passed through my heart, the venom of your glance remains. It speaks to a wound that isn't superficial; it's etched deep within the soul. The glance itself is portrayed as a poison (zehar), and the heart (jigar) is the battlefield. It's the pain of a love that, even in absence, continues to wound.
