Jo Be-akhthiyari Yahi Hai To Qasid / Humin Aa Ke Us Ke Qadam Dekhte — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If this is the state of being without power (or control), then the lover (Qasid) comes and sees those feet.
Explanation
This couplet, by the legendary Mir Taqi Mir, speaks to the deep dependency of the lover. The poet suggests that if the beloved's negligence is truly such a thing, then the seeker (Qasid) will simply come and observe the beloved's footsteps. It’s a powerful declaration of unwavering devotion—a readiness to follow the beloved anywhere, no matter how difficult the path. Mir Taqi Mir beautifully captures the essence of unconditional love and surrender.
