है अब्र की चादर शफ़क़ी जोश से गुल के
मयख़ाने के हाँ देखिए ये रंग हवा का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The curtain of the cloud is now stirred by the passion of Josh; behold, the colors of the air in the tavern of flowers.
Explanation
This masterful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir describes the intoxicating atmosphere of passion and change. The 'abr ki chadar' (curtain of clouds) represents the veil of mystery or fate, which is now illuminated by the intense passion ('shafqi josh'). The 'gul ka maykhana' (garden of intoxication) is the scene of life's pleasures. The poet is telling us to simply observe the vibrant, shifting colors carried by the wind—the unpredictable beauty of emotions and destiny.
