हाथ आईना-रूयों से उठा बैठें न क्यूँकर बिल-अकस असर पाते थे हम अपनी दुआ का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Why do you rise from the mirrors of your hands, my dear? Our prayers once held such magic.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks of the fragile nature of emotional connection and the power of inner faith. The poet asks: why should we worry about the mirror image of our dreams, when the mere effect of our own prayers was once enough? It suggests that true power doesn't come from external validation or appearance, but from the deep, personal conviction and blessing of the heart. It is a beautiful meditation on self-reliance in love.
