Mar Bhi Reh Mir Shab Bahut Roya — Mir Taqi Mir
मर भी रह 'मीर' शब बहुत रोया
है मिरी जान अब सहर नज़दीक
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O Mir, even in death, I wept for a long time; my beloved is now near dawn.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound reflection on the cycle of sorrow and hope. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, describes crying through the entire night, implying deep, persistent grief. However, the second line, 'the dawn is near,' suggests that even in the depths of sorrow, change is inevitable. It is the beautiful agony of knowing that the darkest period is almost over, leaving a mix of exhaustion and anticipation!
