तर्क सब्ज़ान-ए-शहर करिए अब बस बहुत कर चुके निहाल हमें
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Now, let us discuss the logic of the city; we have enjoyed enough already.

Explanation

This couplet is a masterclass in subtle complaint. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is addressing someone (perhaps the beloved or a friend) who has been overly generous with joy and pleasure. He says, 'Now, please take care of the city's greenery.' This isn't a literal request; it's a dramatic way of saying, 'You've given us enough happiness, we are overwhelmed!' It conveys a sweet, weary exhaustion from excessive delight.
