अब देखते हैं ख़ूब तो वो बात ही नहीं
क्या क्या वगर्ना कहते थे अपनी ज़बाँ से तुम
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Now, if I look closely, it's not that specific thing; it's everything else that you used to speak with your tongue.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the realization of a person's true nature. The poet suggests that when one truly sees someone, they realize that the lovely things they used to say—the sweet words from their tongue—mean nothing. The superficial charm fades away when the truth is laid bare. It's a poignant reflection on the gap between words and actions.
