Laya Mere Mazar Pe Us Ko Ye Jazb-e-ishq — Mir Taqi Mir
लाया मिरे मज़ार पे उस को ये जज़्ब-ए-इश्क़
जिस बेवफ़ा को नाम से भी मेरे नंग था
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
This affection of love was brought to my grave by that unfaithful one whose name was also mine.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir speaks here about the painful irony of love. He says that someone has brought the very intensity of love (jazba-e-ishq) to his grave, the grave of the unfaithful lover. The deeper pain is that this unfaithful person was so distant that even his name was unknown to him! It's a profound commentary on betrayal, suggesting that the emotional weight of the relationship was never truly reciprocated.
