Hasti Mein Ham Ne A Kar Asudgi Na Dekhi / Khultim Na Kash Ankhem — Mir Taqi Mir
हस्ती में हम ने आ कर आसूदगी न देखी
खुलतीं न काश आँखें ख़्वाब ख़ुश अदम से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the presence of a wanderer, I did not see peace; / my eyes, which could not open, dreamt of bliss.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the universal ache of disillusionment. The poet feels that true peace (aasoodgi) is unattainable in this transient world. He would rather remain trapped in the comfort of a beautiful dream, even if it means never facing the harsh realities of waking life. It’s a beautiful surrender to the illusion, preferring the warmth of a dream over the cold truth of existence.
