बैत-बहसी समझ के कर बुलबुल धूम है मेरी ख़ुश-ज़बानी की
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The nightingale, understanding the art of witty conversation, says, 'My eloquence is a great spectacle.'

Explanation

This powerful couplet is a declaration of the poet's own artistic prowess. By addressing the nightingale (bulbul), Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the bird should sing with deep understanding and knowledge. The second line, 'There is a grand celebration in my eloquent speech,' is the poet's ultimate boast. He is saying that his words themselves are a spectacle, a source of joy, and a magnificent celebration, far surpassing mere musical notes.
