कभी बुरा नहीं जाना किसी को अपने सिवा हर एक ज़र्रे को हम आफ़्ताब समझे हैं
— Mir Anees
Meaning

I have never considered anyone bad except myself; I have looked upon every tiny speck of dust as a radiant sun.

Explanation

This couplet is a breathtaking reflection of profound humility and grace. Instead of pointing fingers at the world, the poet looks inward with self-critique, while viewing every humble speck of dust ('zarra') with the reverence of a glorious sun ('aaftaab'). It gently suggests that when we let go of our own ego, we begin to see immense worth, light, and divinity in everyone around us.
