Dil Se Mat Ja Ki Hafa Us Ka Waqt — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not leave from the heart, for this is the time of 'hafa' (broken heart), which whoever exits this house (of the heart).
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of emotional dependency and the weight of memory. Mir Taqi Mir is advising the beloved not to leave his heart, suggesting that the moment or time (waqt) when someone departed from a dwelling (makaan) is not the time for such a departure. It implies that the connection formed within that space is so deep that leaving feels like abandoning a fundamental part of one's existence.
