Chashm-o-dil Se Jo Nikla Hijran Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
चश्म-ओ-दिल से जो निकला हिज्राँ में
न कभू बहर-ओ-कान से निकला
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What emerged from the eye of the heart in separation, never emerged from the ear of the ocean.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the inexpressible nature of deep emotional pain. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the pain felt in separation—the sorrow that springs from the eyes and the heart—is so profound that it cannot be compared to or expressed by external things, like the sound of waves or the whispers of the ears. It speaks of a grief that is purely internal and unmatched!
