Aaghah To Rahiye Us Ki Tarz-e-reh-o-ravish Se — Mir Taqi Mir

आगह तो रहिए उस की तर्ज़-ए-रह-ओ-रविश से आने में उस के लेकिन किस को ख़बर रहे है
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Stay close to that style of devotion and passion, but who knows when it will arrive, or to whom?

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the unpredictable nature of love and the beloved's demeanor. The poet advises maintaining constant vigilance regarding the beloved's style and mannerisms. However, the second line delivers a gentle, yet powerful, challenge: who can truly predict the timing of their arrival? It’s a beautiful acknowledgment that while we can observe the signs, the ultimate timing of destiny—or love—remains a mystery, a captivating enigma.
