Parta Na Tha Bharosa Ahad-e-wafa-e-gul Par — Mir Taqi Mir
पड़ता न था भरोसा अहद-ए-वٖफ़ा-ए-गुल पर
मुर्ग़-ए-चमन न समझा मैं तो हज़ार रोया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I did not trust in the promise of loyalty of the rose; oh, the little bird of the garden, I wept a thousand times.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks of broken trust and misplaced faith. The poet says that he never believed in the promise of fidelity, especially when it came from the beloved. Yet, he wept a thousand tears over something as insignificant as a garden bird! It suggests that the pain caused by a small disappointment or betrayal can feel as monumental as a thousand tears.
