Misl Anqa Mujhe Tum Door Se Sun Lo Varna — Mir Taqi Mir
मिस्ल अन्क़ा मुझे तुम दूर से सुन लो वर्ना
नंग-ए-हस्ती हूँ मिरी जाए ब-जुज़ नाम नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O friend, hear my tale from afar, lest I am stripped bare of my existence, save for my name.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of extreme vulnerability and the delicate nature of existence. The poet compares himself to the Nightingale (Anqa), asking the listener to hear his sorrow from a distance. He explains that his entire being is so fragile, so 'naked,' that if approached too closely, he might crumble entirely, leaving only the echo of his name. It is a plea for gentle understanding.
