सद नश्तर-ए-मिज़्गाँ के लगने से न निकला ख़ूँ आगे तुझे 'मीर' ऐसा सौदा न हुआ होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The couplet suggests that since blood did not flow from the bite of the sweet nectar, such a deal must not have happened to you, O Meer.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the depth of emotional wounds. The poet suggests that the wounds inflicted—even if they look minor, like the 'hundred darts'—are far more profound than they appear. Mir Taqi Mir is addressing someone, suggesting that they have never faced a situation or a pain so deep, so transformative, before this moment. It speaks to the unparalleled nature of suffering!
