बद-नाम-ओ-ख़ार-ओ-ज़ार-ओ-नज़ार-ओ-शिकस्ता-हाल
अहवाल कुछ न पूछिए उस रू-सियाह का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not ask about the condition of that face, stained with disgrace, sorrow, tears, and scarred with brokenness.
Explanation
This profound couplet from Mir Taqi Mir speaks of a beloved's face that is utterly ruined, a canvas of pain. The face is described using a list of damaged states: bad reputation, thorns, weeping, and brokenness. He tells the listener not to ask about the condition of that face. It's not just physical damage; it's the cumulative weight of heartbreak and time that has marred the beauty, making its description impossible!
