Mugtanim Jan Gar Kisu Ke Tain — Mir Taqi Mir
मुग़्तनिम जान गर किसू के तईं
पहुँचे है तेरे दस्त ओ पा से नफ़अ'
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, my dear, if you have reached any goal, there is no benefit from your hands and feet.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of absolute, desperate dependency on the beloved. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is essentially saying: 'If my life or soul falls into the hands of any other person, it won't matter... because the mere touch, the presence, or the blessing from you is enough to save me.' It captures that unique anguish where the beloved's grace is the only source of life, overshadowing all other attachments.
