बर्क़ कम-हौसला है हम भी तो
दिलक-ए-बे-क़रार रखते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Though my courage may seem low, I also possess a heart that knows no rest. This means that even if my courage appears weak, I still possess a restless heart.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound confession of vulnerability. Mir Taqi Mir doesn't just lament loss; he declares that he, too, is susceptible to emotional turmoil. 'Bark kam-hausla hai hum bhi to' means 'I am also somewhat discouraged.' By saying this, the Shayar acknowledges that strength is an illusion, and every heart, no matter how composed, carries a restless, unsettled spirit. It’s a deeply relatable cry of shared human fragility.
