Kuchh Apni Aankh Mein Yaa Ka Na Aaya — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Something of yours, or perhaps a glance in your eye, has not come into being. Having seen it through the destruction, it reached the door of the sea.
Explanation
This couplet delves into the nature of internal loss. The speaker tried every physical effort—from the depths of their own eyes to the banks of the river—to recover something. Yet, the thing they sought was never external; it was something that resided within their own spirit or vision. It suggests that some losses are so profound that no amount of physical struggle or effort can ever bring them back.
