Be-hech Us Ka Ghussa Yaaron, Bala-e-jaan Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Be cautious, friends, for his anger is a deadly curse; never forbid us, because we are meant to be celebrated.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the complex relationship between love and pain. The poet declares that the beloved's unpredictable anger is not just annoyance, but a deep affliction—a 'balā-e-jān.' He tells the listener not to try and appease him, because he has grown accustomed to this very turmoil! It's a surrender to the chaos of passion, suggesting that the pain of the beloved is more real and defining than any temporary peace.
