Qué regret is there, except for patience, because he is the flower of the garden who never witnessed the world's flirtations.

This profound couplet speaks to the painful nature of emotional restraint. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the regret we feel, the 'afsos,' isn't for the patience itself, but because the beloved—the 'gul-e-ha-e-baagh' (flower of the garden)—has seen the fleeting, casual glances of the world. This experience makes the heart realize that the depth of love was perhaps too fragile for the harsh reality of the world's gaze.
