The Shayar says that even when it's just an approximation, you still stay by my side, and that Eid came ten times, but you never embraced me.

This masterful couplet captures the deepest pain of unfulfilled longing. Mir Taqi Mir questions the nature of affection. He acknowledges that even in times of distress, the beloved remains physically near. Yet, the second line cuts deep: despite the passage of ten Eids, the embrace—the true, heartfelt connection—has never materialized. It's a poignant lament about superficial presence versus genuine intimacy.
