कजी औबाश की है वो दर-बंद डाले फिरता है बंद शानों पर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

That locked door of Kaji Obash still casts its gloom/shadow over the splendid ranks.

Explanation

This couplet speaks powerfully about the suffocating nature of arrogance and exclusivity. The 'closed door' represents a boundary, a domain of immense self-importance that belongs solely to someone else (Qazi Obaash). The poet observes that this person constantly parades their self-proclaimed grandeur and status, making others feel restricted or inadequate. It's a sharp commentary on the ego that builds walls around itself, blocking genuine connection.
