Kahte Hain Us Ke Tu Munh Lagega — Mir Taqi Mir
कहते हैं उस के तू मुँह लगेगा
हो यूँ ही यारब जूँ है ये अफ़्वाह
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
They say that your face will be on it; it is merely a rumor, my friend.
Explanation
This profound couplet addresses the fickle nature of gossip and external praise in love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that while people constantly talk about your chances or potential with someone, such talk is ultimately baseless. He dismisses these rumors with a touch of melancholy wisdom, reminding us that much of what we hear about our life is mere 'afwaah' (rumor), and we must remain grounded in reality, not in others' expectations.
