Khatir-nishan Ai Sayyid-Fagan Hogi Kab Tiri — Mir Taqi Mir
ख़ातिर-निशाँ ऐ सैद-फ़गन होगी कब तिरी
तीरों के मारे मेरा कलेजा तो छन गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When will the mark of your love appear, O Sayyid-Fagan? My heart has been shattered by your arrows.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the agony of waiting and the depth of pain in love. The speaker addresses 'Sayyid-Faghan,' questioning when the beloved will show any sign of care or remembrance. The second line reveals the core pain: the speaker's heart is already shattered, pierced by invisible arrows. It is a desperate cry that suggests the pain is chronic and profound, making the wait unbearable.
