Kiya Dard-o-gham Ne Mujhe Na-umeed / Ki Majnun Ko Ye Hi Thin Bimariyan — Mir Taqi Mir
किया दर्द-ओ-ग़म ने मुझे ना-उमीद
कि मजनूँ को ये ही थीं बीमारियाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Did pain and sorrow leave me hopeless, or were these the very illnesses of Majnun?
Explanation
This powerful couplet delves into the depths of existential despair. The poet speaks of suffering so intense that he begins to doubt the uniqueness of his pain. He wonders if his profound sorrow and emotional turmoil are truly his alone, or if they are merely the shared ailments of legendary lovers like Majnun. It’s a question that transcends mere romance; it questions the very nature of human suffering.
