पाँव रुकता नहीं मस्जिद से दम-ए-आख़िर भी
मरने पर आया है पर लात चली जाती है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The foot does not stop, even until the final breath near the mosque; it has come to die, but it continues to kick.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the persistence of life's struggle. It suggests that even when the soul finally departs, the body refuses to rest. The feet, unable to stop their movement, continue to 'kick' or move, even when the body is in the sacred place of the mosque and the final breath is taken. It’s a profound meditation on the fact that the struggle of existence doesn't simply end with death!
