अब्र-ए-तर के हुज़ूर फूट बहा दीदा-ए-तर को मेरे रहमत है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

In the presence of the wet cloud (or cloud of tears), it burst forth. This is a mercy for my tearful eyes.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks to the resilience of the lover's heart. The poet uses the image of a flowing cloud (abrar-e-tar) to describe the unpredictable and capricious nature of the beloved. However, the second line delivers a stunning declaration: while the beloved's whim is vast, the speaker's inner grace and self-respect are enough to sustain him. It is a declaration of self-worth that refuses to be defined by the beloved's moods.
