Lakht-e-dil Se Junn Chhadi Phoolon Ki Goonthi Hai Wale — Mir Taqi Mir
लख़्त-ए-दिल से जूँ छिड़ी फूलों की गूंधी है वले
फ़ाएदा कुछ ऐ जिगर इस आह-ए-बे-तासीर का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From the wound of the heart, a knot of flowers has sprung; what use is this sigh of futility, O liver?
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the profound sorrow of lost beauty and effort. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that when the very essence or fragrance of the heart (the 'flowers') has been plucked away, then what use is lamenting or sighing? The poet conveys a deep sense of resignation—the pain is so complete that even the act of grieving becomes meaningless.
