Kharaabi Dil Ki Is Had Hai Ki Ye Samjha Nahi Jaata — Mir Taqi Mir
ख़राबी दिल की इस हद है कि ये समझा नहीं जाता
कि आबादी भी याँ थी या कि वीराना था मुद्दत का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The decay of the heart is such an extent that it cannot be understood whether this place was once populated or remained desolate for ages.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the state of a deeply wounded heart. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, suggests that the damage done to the soul is so great that the person loses their sense of reality. They question whether the place they are in—be it a relationship or a memory—was ever vibrant and alive, or if it has merely been a forgotten ruin for a long time.
