तिनका नहीं रहा है क्या अब निसार करिए
आगे ही हम तो घर को जारूब कर चुके हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Has the fine straw (of our life) run out now? Please bestow (us) some more. We have already scattered our home (with our deeds).
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of utter depletion—the moment when a person has given absolutely everything they possess. The speaker asks, 'Is there no straw left? Why do you still demand an offering?' The answer, according to the second line, is devastating: 'We have already reduced our entire house to dust.' It is a powerful lament about sacrifice taken to its extreme, where nothing remains for oneself.
