Main Mir Tark Le Kar Duniya Se Haath Uthaya — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I, 'Mir', have taken the argument and withdrawn my hand from the world; O dervish, since you are also in my right, please pray for me.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures a moment of deep existential conflict. After 'Mir' has used logic and reason ('tark') to detach himself from the world, he addresses a dervish. He acknowledges that even in his state of detachment, the dervish has a right to care for him. It is a plea for spiritual support, recognizing that true peace comes not just from intellectual realization, but from divine grace and prayer. It's a beautiful surrender to the mysteries of faith.
