Marz Hi Ishq Ka Be-dol Hai Kuch — Mir Taqi Mir

मरज़ ही इश्क़ का बे-डोल है कुछ बहुत करते हैं अपनी सी दवा हम
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The poet says that the ailment of love is something unsteady, and we ourselves administer its cure.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the mysterious and often painful nature of love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the 'illness' of love is inherently uncontrolled—it defies logic and reason. The second line, 'we do our own kind of remedy,' implies that the lover doesn't wait for external cures. Instead, they create their own coping mechanisms, their own way of surviving the agony of the heart. It's a beautiful depiction of self-reliance in the face of profound emotion.
