Phirte Ho Kya Darkhton Ke Saaye Mein Door Door — Mir Taqi Mir
फिरते हो क्या दरख़्तों के साए में दूर दूर
कर लो मुवाफ़क़त किसू बेबर्ग-ओ-साज़ से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do you wander in the shadows of trees, far and wide, or grant your consent to some unleafed-and-unstrung art?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir questions the beloved's wandering through the shadows of trees. But the second line is what truly captivates! It asks for validation—the consent of a leafless, silent instrument. It suggests that the poet feels the search for love's truth is so complex, it requires agreement from something inanimate, highlighting the profound sense of isolation and longing.
