Didar Ki Gursangi Apni Yahin Se Dekh — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I see the sweet melody of your sight from right here; the capacity of friends has been reduced to just a single glance.
Explanation
This poignant couplet speaks to the disillusionment found in relationships. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the beauty and charm of seeing someone (दीदार की गुरस्नगी) is right here, in this moment. However, the second line delivers a bitter blow: the capacity or status of friends (यारों की औक़ात) has been reduced to nothing more than a single glance. It's a lament about how superficial modern relationships are, losing their depth and substance.
