याँ सरकशाँ जो साहब-ए-ताज ओ लवा हुए
पामाल हो गए तो न जाना कि क्या हुए
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If the master of the crown, the great lord, should wander and stray, do not know what has happened when he has become desolate.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the unpredictable nature of power and status. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even the most revered and powerful figures—those who are like 'lords of the crown and the flame'—are merely passing by. If such a great person were to lose their way or fall from grace, the consequences would be so vast and unimaginable that one could never predict them. It's a reflection on the fleeting nature of glory.
