Even if the heart is bound by the covenant of the letter, it will still be drawn towards you; someday, it will be like the Day of Judgment.
Mir Taqi Mir paints a picture of love so profound it defies logic. The poet says that even if he tries to commit to separation, his heart remains irrevocably drawn to the beloved. This internal struggle, this constant pull between duty and desire, is so intense that it promises to culminate in a catastrophe—a personal 'Day of Judgment.' It speaks to the overwhelming, inescapable nature of true love.
