The sorrow of love, the 'kulfat,' did not diminish, even though I provided much remedy and healing.

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the enduring, almost incurable nature of the pain of love. The poet is saying that no matter how many remedies or cures (shifai) he applies, the agony (ranj) of his love simply refuses to diminish. It suggests that some emotions are so deep-rooted, they defy all medical or rational treatment. It is the ultimate surrender to the beautiful suffering of the heart.
