ग़म ओ ग़ुस्सा है हिस्से में मेरे
अब म'ईशत है उन ही खानों पर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Grief and anger are parts of me, and now my livelihood also depends on those very sources.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the bitter irony of fate. The poet declares that grief (gham) and anger (gussa) are his destined share. But the true depth lies in the second line: his very livelihood (ma'ishat) now depends on those same places (khanon) that cause him pain. It’s a profound commentary on how we often become entangled with the very sources of our suffering.
