Taat Ka Waqt Guzra Masti Mein Ab-e-raz Ki — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The time of obedience/devotion passed like the intoxication of the beloved's grace; now only the memories and favor of that grace remain in the eyes.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the bittersweet transition of love. The poet says that the time of simple obedience or duty has passed, replaced by the intoxicating joy of secret romance. Now, the mere memory of the beloved is sustained only by the grace and kindness of the beloved. It speaks to the depth of emotional dependence, where even the past is a gift, not a right.
