meer ki baat kare kaafi din ho gaye..i'll try and explain some as i go along
ab ke himmat sarf kar, jo us se dil uchte mera
phir dua ai 'meer' mat kariyo agar aisa karoon!
this is an exceptional couplet that captures the split in the personality of the lover...the split between the rational and the emotional, the split between 'mythos' and 'logos'. kehte hain, if, by sheer exercise of control over my 'self', i happen to turn myself from 'her' (dil uchatna), please, for God's sake Meer, do not claim her back again through your prayers. One can really see the image of someone supplicating before himself, someone almost begging his own self, not to do something. It is in this begging, that the idea of helplessness in love is driven further home. The couplet seems to tear one apart. apne aap se majboor hone ki ek incredible image hai yeh shair.
