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.
