Hast-iqlim Har Gali Hai Kahi — Mir Taqi Mir
हफ़्त-इक़्लीम हर गली है कहीं
दिल्ली से भी दयार होते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Every street, every corner of the seven lands is there. Even from Delhi, there are places of grace.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet uses a grand metaphor. 'Haft-Iqlime' literally means seven kingdoms or seven regions. Mir Taqi Mir is suggesting that every single street, every small lane, possesses the depth, history, and distinct culture of an entire kingdom. It’s a profound praise for the rich, complex tapestry of a city like Delhi, implying that no corner is mundane; every corner holds a story!
