A meager-spirited one cried out in despair, wanting to burn the tavern of your love's affair.

This powerful couplet captures the delicate nature of sorrow. The line suggests that merely a weak sigh—a sigh of lamentation—was enough to invoke the idea of burning the tavern (may-khana). The 'may-khana' is not just a physical place; it symbolizes the intoxication of love, joy, and carefree moments. Mir Taqi Mir shows that the pain of losing such a cherished space, even if only imagined, is devastating!
