You are not the same with me as you were before; you have changed, dear one, after meeting others.
This deeply melancholic couplet speaks to the painful realization of change in a loved one. Mir Taqi Mir observes that the person he once knew is no longer the same. The sadness lies in the idea that simply interacting with the world—with other people—has altered their essence. It's a universal pain: the fear that familiarity is fleeting, and that even the purest connection can be diluted by external influences.
