देखें वो ग़ैरत-ए-ख़ुर्शीद कहाँ जाता है
अब सर-ए-राह दम-ए-सुब्ह से आ बैठेंगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Where does that pride of the sun go? Now, they will gather at the head of the path with the breath of dawn.
Explanation
This couplet is a breathtaking piece of imagery, equating the inherent dignity and brilliance of the sun (khurshid) to something deeply cherished or awaited. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the honor and glory of something—be it hope, love, or a grand revelation—is so profound that its appearance is heralded by the very dawn itself. It speaks of an inevitable, beautiful, and undeniable arrival.
