Karte Hain Sab Tamanna Par Mir Ji Na Itni Rakhegi Maar Tum Ko — Mir Taqi Mir
करते हैं सब तमन्ना पर 'मीर' जी न इतनी
रक्खेगी मार तुम को पायान-ए-कार ख़्वाहिश
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Everyone desires, but 'Mir' ji, your footsteps will not sustain such a desire.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the dangerous nature of unchecked desire. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that while everyone harbors wishes, these desires alone are not enough to guarantee success or safety. He implies that the moment you step toward your goal—at the threshold of action—your sheer longing will prove to be your undoing. It's a warning about the gap between dreaming and doing.
