Dikha Us But Ko Phir Bhi Ya Khuda-ya — Mir Taqi Mir

दिखा उस बुत को फिर भी या ख़ुदाया तिरी क़ुदरत-नुमाई हो चुकी बस
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

O God, even if you show that idol, your divine creation has already been fully revealed.

Explanation

This couplet is a profound declaration of faith and surrender. The speaker is addressing God, acknowledging that the demonstration of divine power (qudrat-numai) has already been overwhelming and sufficient. The reference to the 'idol' (but) is not a challenge, but rather a statement: 'Even if you prove your power to something false or material, it doesn't matter. Your inherent grace and miracle are enough for me.' It is the ultimate expression of contentment in divine will.
