Khol Kar Diwan Mera Dekh Qudrat Muddai — Mir Taqi Mir
खोल कर दीवान मेरा देख क़ुदरत मुद्दई'
गरचे हूँ मैं नौजवाँ पर शाइ'रों का पीर हूँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh Destiny, open my treasury and see; though I am young, I am the beloved of Shayars.

He boasts that even though he is physically young, his poetic experience and wisdom make him the spiritual guide (Pir) for other poets. It’s a masterful display of confidence, suggesting that true depth comes not with age, but with profound understanding and heart.
