शैख़ ओ पीर-ए-मुग़ाँ की ख़िदमत में
दिल से इक ए'तिक़ाद है हम को
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the service of the Sheikh and the Pir-e-Mughaan, we hold a sincere faith in our heart.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the unwavering nature of spiritual belief. Mir Taqi Mir is stating that no matter the external circumstances or the devotion shown to spiritual masters (Sheikh and Pir), the core faith—the 'Ateeqaad'—resides deep within the heart. It’s a declaration that true conviction is an internal sanctuary, untouchable by worldly doubts or challenges. It’s a testament to the power of inner conviction.
