मज़ा दिखावेंगे बे-रहमी का तिरी सय्याद गर इज़्तिराब-ए-असीरी ने ज़ेर-ए-दाम लिया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

O hunter, if the restless agony of imprisonment grips me beneath your net, I will make you taste the consequences of your cruelty.

Explanation

Here, the poet takes on the voice of a trapped bird speaking directly to the hunter with startling defiance. The image is vivid: trapped beneath the net, the bird warns that if the agonizing restlessness of confinement takes over, its frantic thrashing will wreck the snare and make the hunter regret his cruelty. It touches upon that profound moment where extreme suffering ceases to be quiet despair and turns into an uncontrollable, liberating force.
