Mir Is Ghazal Ko Khoob Kaha Tha Zameer Ne — Mir Taqi Mir
'मीर' इस ग़ज़ल को ख़ूब कहा था ज़मीर ने
पर ऐ ज़बाँ-दराज़ बहुत हो चुकी ख़मोश
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My conscience had praised this ghazal greatly, but oh, my eloquent tongue has become very silent.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the conflict between one's inner truth and their outward silence. The poet suggests that while the conscience (Zameer) acknowledges the beauty and depth of the poetry, the tongue itself has become too silent. It's a beautiful depiction of emotional suppression—when the heart knows something profound, but the circumstances prevent it from speaking, leaving a deep, poignant ache.
