Ho Taraf Mujh Pehlwan Shair Ka Kab Aziz Sukhan — Mir Taqi Mir

हो तरफ़ मुझ पहलवाँ शा'इर का कब 'आजिज़ सुख़न सामने होने को साहब फ़न के क़ुदरत चाहिए
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

O Aziz, how many times will I, the wrestler-poet, utter such magnificent verses? To stand before the master of art, the inherent nature of skill is required.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the profound nature of true art. The poet suggests that the magnificent words of a master Shayar are not something that can simply be observed or appreciated casually. To truly witness the brilliance—the 'qudrat'—of poetry, one must possess a deep, inherent understanding and passion for the art itself. It elevates the conversation from mere listening to a spiritual experience!
