Be-sabab Aata Nahin Ab Dam-b-dam Aashiq Ko Ghash / Dard Kheencha Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The lover no longer loses consciousness breath by breath without reason; the pain has been greatly pulled, and much sorrow has been endured.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the essence of prolonged emotional suffering. The poet describes a state where the lover feels a constant, dizzying sense of emotional overload—a loss of self—not because of one single event, but because of the sheer accumulation of pain and sorrow. It speaks to the weariness of the heart that has endured too much, where the pain becomes a permanent, background hum of existence.
