Amiron Tak Rasai Ho Cuki Bas — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Only the reach of the rich has arrived, and only the testing of my destiny remains.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound expression of resignation and weariness. Mir Taqi Mir states that his access or favor with the wealthy (the 'amīr') is finished, and more significantly, he feels that his testing by fate ('baxt-aazmaai') has reached its end. It’s not just about losing worldly connections; it’s a deep, existential sigh of acceptance. The poet feels that life’s greatest struggles and tests have finally concluded, leaving him in a state of profound, melancholic peace.
