On your face, there is a scratch like a nail's wound; now my handicrafts are visible.

This couplet speaks of vulnerability and exposed struggles. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the wounds on the face, like the scratch of a nail, are now visible. These wounds are metaphors for the efforts, the flaws, or the emotional baggage that we usually keep hidden. When the 'handmade works' (दस्त-कारियाँ) become visible, it means our true selves, with all their imperfections, are finally exposed to the world.
