Yan Hue Mir Tum Barabar Khak / Vah Wahi Naz O Sargirani Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
याँ हुए 'मीर' तुम बराबर ख़ाक
वाँ वही नाज़ ओ सरगिरानी है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh Mir, you are nothing but dust, yet that same pride and arrogance remain.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the enduring nature of artistic spirit and personal grace. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even if the physical body is reduced to mere dust, the unique style, the 'naaz-o-sargiraani'—the inherent charm and arrogance of the artist—will remain forever. It is a powerful declaration that true essence cannot be destroyed by time or decay.
