Taklif-e-nala Mat Kar Ai Dard-dil Ki Honge — Mir Taqi Mir
तकलीफ़-ए-नाला मत कर ऐ दर्द दिल कि होंगे
रंजीदा राह चलते आज़ुर्दा हम-नशीं भी
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not complain of sorrow, O heart-ache; for today, even our companion, walking the path, is distraught.
Explanation
This couplet is a beautiful meditation on the nature of pain and beauty. The poet addresses the pain itself, asking it not to trouble the heart. He observes a profound paradox: even the beloved, who is walking a path of sorrow, appears radiant and joyful. It suggests that sometimes, the deepest wounds are masked by an undeniable, captivating grace. A masterful piece of emotional self-consolation.
