क्या 'मीर' तुझ को नामा-स्याही का फ़िक्र है
ख़त्म-ए-रुसुल सा शख़्स है ज़ामिन नजात का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O Meer, do you worry about the ink of your name? For this man is the very foundation of salvation, like the conclusion of prophets.
Explanation
This profound couplet questions the priorities of the addressed person. The poet asks: 'Do you worry about the mere act of writing?' He immediately contrasts this small concern with the magnitude of the listener's existence—a figure of ultimate salvation, akin to the Prophet. It's a powerful challenge, suggesting that someone of such divine stature should focus only on the sublime, not the trivial.
