Dil Ishq Ka Hamesha Harif-e-nabard Tha — Mir Taqi Mir

दिल इश्क़ का हमेशा हरीफ़-ए-नबर्द था अब जिस जगह कि दाग़ है याँ आगे दर्द था
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The heart was always a battlefield of love's conflict, and now wherever there is a stain, there resides pain.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir captures the profound realization that love is not a source of joy, but a perpetual source of sorrow. He says that the heart of love has always been steeped in pain. It's not just the visible scars of the past that hurt us; the true suffering is the constant, underlying ache—the pain that awaits us wherever we dare to feel attached or vulnerable.
