Whether I came from here, or whether I must hide the heart's secret, what gain is there? Whether today has passed, or tomorrow will pass; whether morning has gone, or evening has gone.

This powerful couplet speaks to the universal theme of impermanence. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the effort to conceal one's emotions—to keep the heart's true feelings hidden—is ultimately futile. Time, whether it's morning or evening, today or tomorrow, simply moves forward. We cannot stop time or hide our feelings from the relentless passage of moments.
