ऐ शोर-ए-क़यामत हम सोते ही न रह जावें
इस राह से निकले तो हम को भी जगा जाना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, that we should not remain sleeping in the clamor of doomsday; if we leave this path, then wake us up too.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the delicate balance between blissful ignorance and harsh reality. The 'noise of Qayamat' (the apocalypse) represents overwhelming truth or profound change. The speaker is saying, 'Don't let us remain asleep in this world.' They are pleading that if the beloved or the world departs from this familiar path, the shock of that departure should serve as a wake-up call, forcing them to confront reality!
