The Shayar is saying that you should not abandon the desire, nor should you give your heart to the intoxication.

This beautiful couplet captures the profound dilemma of the lover. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the true agony is not the fear of losing the beloved, but rather the intense, consuming passion—the very *zauq*—of falling in love. It speaks to the idea that the desire itself, the act of deep emotional attachment, is more painful than the inevitable heartbreak. It’s the intoxicating rush of emotion that becomes the burden.
