किन ने सुन शेर-ए-'मीर' ये न कहा
कहियो फिर हाए क्या कहा साहब
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Who told the Lion-like Shayar 'Mir' that he had not said it? Oh, what did you say, sir, what did you say?
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful example of meta-poetry—poetry talking about poetry itself. The speaker is addressing the audience with a playful, yet intense, rhetorical challenge. By asking, 'Who hasn't heard Mir's verses and said this?' the poet is not asking for information, but demanding appreciation. It's a poetic moment of profound self-awareness, suggesting that the depth and beauty of Mir Taqi Mir's verses are so overwhelming that they compel the listener to constantly repeat and savor every word.
