चारागरी बीमारी-ए-दिल की रस्म-ए-शहर-ए-हुस्न नहीं वर्ना दिलबर-ए-नादाँ भी इस दर्द का चारा जाने है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The illness of the heart is not a custom of the city of beauty; otherwise, even the innocent beloved would know how to cure this pain.

Explanation

This profound couplet explores the unique agony of heartbreak. The poet suggests that the pain in the heart is so deep and unusual that it doesn't follow the 'rules' or 'customs' of the beautiful world. If it did, the innocent beloved would surely know the cure. It speaks to a pain that transcends mere physical remedies—a wound only time, or perhaps fate, can heal.
