In this age, lest the race of man should rise, that pearls know the water of man, not the water of animals. This suggests a time when humanity's true nature or value (represented by the water of man) might be misunderstood or undervalued, perhaps being mistaken for something common or animalistic.

This profound couplet speaks to the mysterious depth of the human soul. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that in the coming generations, humanity will reach a level of emotional complexity so profound that even something as naturally perfect and detached as a pearl can recognize the true essence—the 'water'—of human existence. It's a beautiful meditation on empathy and the inherent depth of the heart.
