Kya Etibar Yan Ka Phir Us Ko Khwar Dekha — Mir Taqi Mir
क्या ए'तिबार याँ का फिर उस को ख़्वार देखा
जिस ने जहाँ में आ कर कुछ ए'तिबार पाया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What worth does a fleeting moment or a transient glance hold, for one who has found some permanence in this world?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the universal pain of betrayal. The poet questions if the beloved (or the world) has ever seen the trust (aitbaar) they once held diminish, especially after the person had built a life full of faith and belief. It's a poignant reflection on how easily trust can shatter, leaving us disillusioned with the very world that promised security.
