वो पानी हूँ शीरीं नहीं जिस में शोर
वो आतिश हूँ जिस में शरारा नहीं
— Mir Anees
Meaning
I am that sweet water in which there is no noise, and I am that fire in which there is no spark.
Explanation
In this evocative couplet, the poet speaks of a quiet, profound inner intensity that has no need for outward spectacle. Sweet water nourishes effortlessly without turbulent rushing, just as the deepest fire burns relentlessly from within without flying sparks. It is a portrait of a soul whose emotions and strength are immense, yet carried with gentle restraint and dignified grace.
