कब रो है उस से बात के करने का मुझ को 'मीर'
ना-कर्दा जुर्म में तू गुनहगार हो गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Meer says that how can I speak to one who has wept. You have become guilty of a crime without having committed one.
Explanation
This couplet captures the exquisite pain of emotional distance. The speaker, 'Mir,' feels utterly unable to approach the beloved, not because of a mistake on his part, but because the beloved has somehow placed the speaker in a position of undeserved guilt. It’s the agony of being blamed when you haven't committed any sin. It speaks to the cruel irony of love, where the mere presence of the other person can feel like a transgression.
