You depart even from the place, and become bitter from the mouth; they are not the letters that a poet can utter.

This profound couplet captures the agony of a difficult separation. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beloved's harshness is not limited to physical departure; even the act of speaking or leaving a location is done with an unbearable sharpness. The poet observes that the words spoken under such duress are not spontaneous or natural. It speaks to the pain of forced composure, where every utterance is a struggle against overwhelming emotion.
