Koi Daad-e-dil Ah Kis Se Kare — Mir Taqi Mir
कोई दाद-ए-दिल आह किस से करे
हर इक है सो उस फ़ित्ना-गर की तरफ़
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Whose heart's sorrow shall I pour out? For everyone turns towards that captivating charmer.
Explanation
This powerful couplet, by Mir Taqi Mir, speaks to the universal dilemma of love. The poet asks, 'To whom should one offer the medicine of the heart?' He suggests that every single person, every single heart, is drawn towards that 'fitna-gar'—the one who causes turmoil or temptation. It’s a profound realization that the object of affection is irresistible, making self-control nearly impossible.
