When will love cease its heart-deep stay, and this very life will depart with this sorrow's sway.

This profound couplet captures the eternal struggle of the lover's heart. Mir Taqi Mir asks rhetorically when love will ever find peace in the heart, implying that it never settles. The second line is a heartbreaking acceptance: even life itself will depart, but it cannot take the accompanying sorrow. It speaks to a grief so deep, it becomes a permanent part of existence.
