There are no taunts for the pen on paper, but what shall I write? These two circumstances of love are sacred (or forbidden).

This profound couplet speaks to the limits of language and art when faced with overwhelming emotion. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the pain of the pen and the tears of the ink are too raw, too deeply felt, to be confined to mere paper. Some emotions are so personal, so intensely lived, that they resist being written down, remaining private and sacred.
