mujhe yaad karne se ye muddaa tha
mujhe yaad karne se ye mudda.ā thā
nikal jaa.e dam hichkiyāñ aate aate
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
The speaker accuses the beloved of a cruel purpose behind remembering him: not comfort, but torment. “Hiccups” become a metaphor for repeated, involuntary shocks of longing that interrupt breath itself. The emotional core is bitter irony—memory, which should soothe, is imagined as a weapon that slowly chokes life away. Love and separation meet at the edge of the last breath.
