पछताइए न क्यूँकर जी इस तरह से दे कर
ये गौहर-गिरामी हम मुफ़्त खो चले हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Don't make me regret it, Kuṅkar ji, by doing this; we have lost these valuable gems for free.
Explanation
This powerful couplet advises against regret. Mir Taqi Mir tells his beloved (or friend) that they should not grieve or feel sorrow over the loss of beauty or precious moments. He suggests that since the 'falling of gems' (Gauhar-Girami) was something that was lost so easily or 'for free,' the regret itself is misplaced and unnecessary. It’s a profound message about accepting the flow of life and not mourning what was never truly held.
