Khinchi Kya Kya Kharabi Zer-e-divar — Mir Taqi Mir
खिंची क्या क्या ख़राबी ज़ेर-ए-दीवार
वले आया न वो टक घर से दर तक
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What mischief, what trouble was dragged beneath the wall; he came, from home to door, not even from the hearth.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the pain of unfulfilled anticipation. The poet asks what troubles might be hidden beneath the walls, hinting at deep, unspoken secrets or anxieties. But the second line delivers the punch: despite all the emotional turmoil, the beloved never appeared, not even at the doorstep. It’s a poignant reflection on absence and the silence that speaks louder than any confession.
