तुझ बिन शकेब कब तक बे-फ़ाएदा हूँ नालाँ
मुझ नाला कश के तो ऐ फ़रियाद-रस किधर है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
How long will I be useless without you, O Nalaan? And where is the cry of sorrow, O source of lamentation?
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the desperate dilemma of the lover. The poet asks, 'How long will I remain useless without you, my beloved?' He then challenges the very concept of lamentation, questioning the source of the tears. It's a powerful cry that says, 'If my sorrow is merely a stream of tears, then where is the voice of my anguish?' It is a plea for recognition, a demand for the heart to acknowledge the depth of the pain.
