अंदाज़ से है पैदा सब कुछ ख़बर है उस को गो 'मीर' बे-सर-ओ-पा ज़ाहिर है बे-ख़बर सा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Everything is born from style; he knows all of it. Mir's style is visible even on a headless body, even when he seems unaware.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the power of demeanor and subtlety. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that true knowledge—the understanding of everything—is not found in words, but in the 'andaz,' or the style and manner of being. The second line describes a person who is physically present and visible, yet carries an air of oblivious unawareness. It's a commentary on how true understanding often remains hidden beneath a veneer of casualness!
