दिल है जिधर को ऊधर कुछ आग सी लगी थी
उस पहलू हम जो लेटे जल जल गई है करवट
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My heart felt alight for whatever direction it turned; the side where I lay burned with every movement.
Explanation

It's not just heartache; it's a constant, pervasive pain that follows the lover everywhere, making even turning over a painful ordeal.
