वो फ़िक्र कर कि चाक-ए-जिगर पावे इल्तियाम नासेह जो तू ने जामा सुलाया तो क्या हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Worry about gaining the affection of the heart; what if I draped the garment of advice upon you?

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks to the difference between superficial effort and genuine emotional acceptance. Mir Taqi Mir tells us not to worry about the advice (naseehat) being beautifully presented or dressed up. The true struggle, the real worry, is whether the raw, exposed piece of your heart (chaak-e-jigar) will find acceptance from the beloved or the world. It's a profound statement on vulnerability and authenticity.
