देखा हो कुछ उस आमद-ओ-शुद में तो मैं कहूँ ख़ुद गुम हुआ हूँ बात की तह अब जो पा गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

If I saw something in that arrival and departure, I would say that I am now lost in the depths of the conversation I have found.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir beautifully captures the state of profound realization. The poet suggests that if the listener has witnessed the flux of coming and going—the transient nature of life—then listen closely. He admits that the moment he truly grasped the depth of the matter, he himself became lost within it. It's a poignant acknowledgment that true understanding often leads to a state of beautiful, overwhelming confusion.
