गाली झिड़की ख़श्म-ओ-ख़ुशूनत ये तो सर-ए-दस्त अक्सर हैं
लुत्फ़ गया एहसान गया इनआ'म गया इकराम गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
This slanderous beauty and charm are often merely superficial. The favor, the grace, the gifts, and the respect have all departed.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir captures the painful reality that superficial charms and fleeting beauty are easily acquired and lost. However, the true heartache, the core of the poem, is the loss of genuine grace, favor, and respect. He suggests that while beauty is transient, the loss of sincere affection or regard from a loved one is an irreversible, deep wound.
