Kya Ag De Ke Taur Ko Ki Tark Sar-kasi — Mir Taqi Mir
क्या आग दे के तौर को की तर्क सर-कशी
उस शो'ले की वही हैं शरारत की बानीयाँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What fire has given the form of logic and reasoning? Those are the verses of mischief of that flame.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the uncontrollable nature of passion or mischief. The poet asks: How can one reason with a flame, or try to curb its wild energy? The answer, delivered by the शायर, is that the flame itself is the very embodiment of mischief. It possesses an inherent, irresistible wildness that cannot be reasoned away, much like the unpredictable nature of deep emotion.
