Hai Ma-Siva Kya Jo Mir Kahiye — Mir Taqi Mir

है मा-सिवा क्या जो 'मीर' कहिए आगाह सारे उस से हैं आगाह
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

O Mir, what is there besides Ma-Siva? Tell me, all guides and sources derive from Him.

Explanation

This couplet is a profound declaration of surrender and devotion. When Mir Taqi Mir says, 'Everything, except what I say, is known by that one source,' he is implying that his very existence, his wisdom, and his words are entirely dependent on a singular, powerful entity—be it the beloved, God, or the muse. It speaks to a deep realization that no human effort can stand alone; there is always a guiding force. It’s a beautiful testament to humility and ultimate reliance.
