The Shayar says that the heart remains afflicted by the madness of love, and nothing else remains; what a terrible flaw this is, in this abode of sorrow.

This profound couplet speaks to the permanent scars left by deep love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the damage or 'flaw' (ख़राबी) on the heart is solely attributable to 'ishq' (love), and nothing else can truly affect it. He calls this state of perpetual heartache a 'tremendous flaw' in the very abode of sorrow. It suggests that the wounds of love are not temporary pain, but a defining, intrinsic part of the self.
