Sham-e-mazar Aur Ye Soz-e-jigar Mira — Mir Taqi Mir
शम-ए-मज़ार और ये सोज़-ए-जिगर मिरा
हर शब करेंगे ज़िंदगी ना-साज़ मेरे बा'द
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The fragrance of the grave and this burning ache of my heart, every night will destroy my discordant life.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the enduring nature of emotional pain. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the burning agony of the heart (sōz-e-jigar) and the memory of the grave (sham-e-mazar) are inseparable parts of his existence. He feels that even after his physical death, these two elements—the pain and the memory—will continue to make his life, or perhaps his soul's peace, discordant and unsettled.
