Kuchh Ranj-e-dili Mir Jawani Mein Khincha Tha — Mir Taqi Mir
कुछ रंज-ए-दिली 'मीर' जवानी में खिंचा था
ज़र्दी नहीं जाती मिरे रुख़्सार से अब तक
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Some sorrow of the heart, 'Mir', was drawn in youth, but the yellowing does not leave my cheek even till now.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the indelible marks of early heartbreak. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the sorrows of youth—the emotional turmoil—have left a permanent stain. The 'zardi' (yellow pallor) is not physical, but the visible trace of deep emotional suffering, a sorrow that time has failed to erase from his countenance. It’s a poignant reflection on the lasting impact of memory and pain.
