Kahan Tak Ye Taklif-e-ma La-yutaq — Mir Taqi Mir
कहाँ तक ये तकलीफ़-ए-मा ला-युताक़
हुईं मुद्दतों नाज़-बर्दारियाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Hasta how long can this pain of separation endure? For ages, the arrogance/pride has become unbearable.
Explanation
This powerful couplet, by Mir Taqi Mir, speaks to the unbearable weight of emotional suffering. The poet questions the limit of this 'pain of the heart' (takleef-e-ma), asking how long it can endure such 'vanity' or 'pride' (naaz-bardariya). It’s a profound lament about enduring emotional hardship—the point where the soul simply gives up its fight! It makes us question the boundaries of our own patience.
