Oh, remember me, who has gone far away, for in the sharp wakefulness, there is surely a lesson.

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the delicate balance between memory and reality. The poet advises remembering the passage of time, the 'door rafta' (passing moments). However, he adds a caution: while remembrance is necessary, one must also maintain a sharp, clear consciousness ('tez hosh'). The lesson is that nostalgia is valuable, but it must not cloud the clarity of the present moment.
