Rah-e-hadis Jo Tak Bhi Nikle Kaun Sikhae Ham Ko Phir — Mir Taqi Mir

राह-ए-हदीस जो टक भी निकले कौन सिखाए हम को फिर रू-ए-सुख़न पर किस को दे वो शोख़ बड़ा अय्यारा है
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

On the path of subtle discourse, who will teach us again if the thread breaks? On the heart of poetry, to whom does one give that charming, mischievous affection?

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if the thread of subtle discourse breaks, who will guide us again? He questions to whom one bestows that charming, mischievous affection on the heart of poetry. Mir’s perspective beautifully captures the fragility of both knowledge and art, suggesting that once the delicate thread of discourse snaps, finding guidance becomes nearly impossible. It is a profound reflection on the ephemeral nature of artistic and intellectual grace.
