Teg Nakaamon Pe Na Har Dam Kheench — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says that one cannot continuously chase those who fail; success can be achieved by a single spell or effort.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the nature of effort and divine intervention. Mir Taqi Mir advises against relentlessly pursuing those matters or people who are destined to fail. He suggests that excessive, continuous effort is futile. Instead, sometimes, all it takes is one concentrated effort, one single act of faith, or a moment of genuine grace—a miracle—to achieve what seems impossible.
