क़द्र रखती न थी मता-ए-दिल
सारे आलम में मैं दिखा लाया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My heart's worth was not esteemed, but I revealed it in the whole world.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the journey of self-discovery. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the heart (the 'self') does not realize its own immense value or depth until it experiences the vastness of the world. It's a realization that true worth is often found outside our comfort zone. We often overlook the treasures within us until life forces us to look, and that realization is a powerful, humbling moment.
