ना-समझ है तो जो मेरी क़द्र नईं करता कि शोख़
कम बहुत मिलता है फिर दिल-ख़्वाह इतना आश्ना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you are unaware (or unappreciative), why would you not cherish me, oh charming one? For such a beloved heart is rarely found so familiar.
Explanation
This powerful couplet is a masterful lesson in self-respect. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if someone fails to appreciate your unique charm or mischievous spirit, they should look elsewhere. It's a subtle warning—a declaration that your value is too high to be overlooked. The poet reminds us that true worth is recognized, and if it isn't, the market for affection is vast.
