Mar Kar Bhi Haath Aave To Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Even if it comes through death, 'Mir', it is free; we know the interest even on the light of life.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the enduring value of life and emotion. Mir Taqi Mir contrasts the physical reality of death—which, ultimately, renders the body and its parts worthless and free—with the irreplaceable loss of living experience. He suggests that while the physical remains are free, the emotional and spiritual debt incurred by losing a life's richness is immense, a debt that can never be calculated or repaid. It is a powerful reminder that true wealth lies in the moments we live, not the moments we endure.
