is that neither mercy nor patience sufficed for you, and it is a strange calamity upon my heart.

This profound couplet speaks to the agony of unfulfilled longing. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is lamenting that neither the beloved's mercy nor even a moment of patience has alleviated his pain. He declares that the trouble is not external, but a strange, deep-seated affliction within his own heart. It captures the helpless state of the lover who is utterly dependent on the grace of the beloved.
