Hum Muzannibon Mein Sirf Karam Se Hai Guftugu — Mir Taqi Mir

हम मुज़न्निबों में सिर्फ़ करम से है गुफ़्तुगू मज़कूर ज़िक्र याँ नहीं सौम-ओ-सलात का
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Among all the poets, only I speak with grace, not by mentioning specific names or the mention of fasts and prayers.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir elevates the conversation from the superficial to the spiritual. This couplet beautifully suggests that true connection—whether in love or in devotion—is not governed by visible rules or religious rituals (like fasting and prayer). Instead, the poet asserts that genuine communication and closeness happen only through the boundless grace and favor (karam) of the other party. It is a profound message about accepting mercy over mere performance.
