sherKuch Alfaaz

marte hain aarzu mein marne ki maut aati hai par nahin aati i die yearning as i hope for death death does come to me but then not quite this couplet captures a profound paradox of suffering where life becomes so unbearable that the poet longs for death as a release. the irony lies in the wordplay: he is 'dying' (suffering intensely) in his wait for death, creating a state of perpetual agony where the relief of actual death remains elusive despite seeming imminent.
