Mara Tha Kis Libas Men Urdani Ne Mujhe / Jis Se Tah-e-zamin Bhi Main — Mir Taqi Mir
मारा था किस लिबास में उर्यानी ने मुझे
जिस से तह-ए-ज़मीन भी मैं बे-कफ़न गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In what attire did Urdani kill me, that even beneath the earth I went without a shroud?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the devastating depth of emotional pain. The poet asks, 'In what garment did Uryanī kill me?' The answer is devastating: the wound was so deep that even when I descended into the depths of the earth, I was found naked, without a shroud. It suggests that the beloved's pain stripped away not just life, but every layer of protection, identity, and dignity.
