Ye Sar-guzisht Meri Afsaana Jo Hui Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
ये सर-गुज़श्त मेरी अफ़्साना जो हुई है
मज़कूर उस का उस के कूचे में जा-ब-जा था
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My past life, which has become a tale, was present in every corner of that place.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the contrast between personal experience and public gossip. The poet suggests that while the speaker's own life is a detailed story, the beloved's name and reputation were already circulating and being discussed everywhere in their own neighborhood. It highlights the difference between what we live and what others talk about us, often suggesting that rumor precedes reality.
