ता-ब मक़्दूर इंतिज़ार किया
दिल ने अब ज़ोर बे-क़रार किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The heart, having endured the patience of fate, now possesses a restless strength.
Explanation

However, the second line reveals the heart's rebellion. The heart, which was subdued by fate, suddenly erupts with an uncontrollable energy of restlessness. It is the moment where resignation gives way to sheer, powerful emotion.
