Dushman To Ik Taraf Ki Sabab Rashk Ka Hai Yaan / Dar Ka — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The enemy might simply be the cause of envy; why not just tear down the door and dismantle the wall?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the nature of conflict and emotional defense. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the true enemy is often merely the source of jealousy itself. Instead of engaging in destructive confrontations, why not simply build a wall (a barrier) around your heart or your life? It’s a masterful piece of advice on self-preservation—that sometimes, the greatest strength lies in withdrawal and protection, rather than aggressive defense.
