Hui Hai Zindagi Dusvar Muskil Asan Kar — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Life has become very difficult and challenging, how to make it easy; I am the owner of my own fate, wherever I wander.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the deepest form of existential angst. The poet feels that life itself is a paradox—simultaneously impossible and manageable. The true revelation, however, is that the external world is not the problem. The poet realizes that whether he changes his path or direction, the source of his turmoil and misfortune (वबाल) lies within himself. It is a powerful meditation on self-acceptance and internal conflict.
