Kab Se Mutahammil Hai Jafaaon Ka Dil-e-zaar\Zinhaar-wafa Ho Na Saki — Mir Taqi Mir
कब से मुतहम्मिल है जफ़ाओं का दिल-ए-ज़ार
ज़िन्हार-वफ़ा हो न सकी यार से अब तक
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
How long must this sorrowful heart endure the cruelty? The promise of fidelity could not be kept by the beloved until now.
Explanation
This couplet is a raw cry of a lover who has reached his breaking point. He questions how much longer his wounded heart must endure the pain and betrayal (Jafa). The second line adds a bitter sting: the beloved, despite all the torment, never managed to be truly faithful or loyal. It speaks to the deep exhaustion that comes from unrequited love and persistent disappointment.
