तलवार अब लगा है बे-डोल पास रखने
ख़ून आज कल किसू का वो शोख़ कर रहे है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The sword is now kept nearby, without wavering, and they are provoking whose blood today.
Explanation
This couplet is a powerful warning about the volatile nature of times. The poet suggests that a sword, representing violence or conflict, is kept ready and unrestrained. But the true danger, according to the lines, isn't the weapon itself; it's the reckless provocation of human emotions and conflicts that are constantly being stirred up. It's a call for caution amidst rising tensions.
