Nash-murda Mire Munh Se Yan Harf Nahi Nikla — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From my mouth, not even a single syllable of intoxication or falsehood emerged; what I spoke, 'Mir', was purely calculative (logical).
Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir says that the words coming from his mouth are not born from intoxication or madness; they are simply the results of careful calculation.
