Sometimes the heart seems to stop, and the liver yearns with pain; these two things in my chest are frozen due to the sorrow of separation.

This beautiful couplet perfectly captures the agonizing paradox of separation (Hijr). The poet speaks of the heart (dil) sometimes stopping, and the liver/chest (jigar) sometimes aching. It's a description of a pain that is both physical and emotional. The agony of missing a loved one traps both the rhythm of the heart and the yearning of the soul within the chest. It’s the quintessential pain of the lover, articulated by Mir Taqi Mir.
