He kept looking over there till late yesterday, but he never showed us his ruined condition.

This profound couplet speaks to the agony of unreciprocated emotional depth. The poet observes that the beloved spends so much time gazing in the speaker's direction, yet when it comes to the speaker's own heartache, the beloved remains silent. It is a painful realization: the beloved is an expert at watching, but utterly incapable of sharing their own vulnerability. Mir Taqi Mir captures the silence that is often louder and more devastating than any shouted rejection.
