Zakhm Bin Gham Bin Aur Gussa Bin — Mir Taqi Mir
ज़ख़्म बिन ग़म बिन और ग़ुस्सा बिन
अपना खाना हराम होता है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Without wounds, sorrow, and anger, even one's own food becomes forbidden.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir draws a stark contrast between physical or emotional pain and moral transgression. He suggests that wounds, sorrow, and even intense anger—though painful—are nothing compared to the sin of one's own livelihood or action. The greatest suffering, according to the Shayar, is the guilt that stains one's own existence. It elevates moral integrity above all worldly pain.
