रंज खींचे थे दाग़ खाए थे
दिल ने सदमे बड़े उठाए थे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
You had drawn stains of sorrow, endured wounds of suffering, and the heart had lifted burdens of profound shock.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the cumulative nature of emotional pain. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the wounds weren't just physical; they were inflicted through sustained sorrow ('Ranj') and lingering scars ('Daag'). The heart, therefore, didn't just break once; it had to endure countless, deep shocks ('Sadme') over time. It’s a profound reflection on the weight of remembered suffering.
