हर सू सर-ए-तस्लीम रखे सैद-ए-हरम हैं
वो सैद-फ़गन तेग़-ब-कफ़ ता किधर आवे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Everywhere, the Sayyids of the sacred precinct pay homage by bowing their heads; those Sayyids are like a sword and a shield, so where can they be found?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks of absolute reverence and unwavering devotion. The poet suggests that everywhere, the 'Sayyid-e-Haram' (the respected figure of the holy shrine) commands respect. But, the true challenge is the 'Sayyid-Fagan'—the one who is ready to fight with a sword or with his bare hands. Mir Taqi Mir emphasizes that this warrior-like devotion is impossible to contain or tame. It's a powerful tribute to a spirit that cannot be subdued!
