सुब्ह-ए-पीरी शाम होने आई 'मीर'
तू न चेता याँ बहुत दिन कम रहा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The morning of the saintly woman arrived as the evening; 'Mir', you did not warn, and many days passed. (Meaning: The time of the saintly woman's morning has turned into evening, yet O Mir, you failed to give a warning, and many days have elapsed.)
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the sudden, painful realization of time's passage and aging. Mir Taqi Mir speaks of the dawn (youth/new beginnings) arriving like the evening (decline/old age). The core message is a poignant warning: we often live so engrossed in the present that we fail to notice how swiftly the precious days are slipping away. It is a reflection on mortality and the relentless march of time.
