Munim Ne Bana Zulm Ki Rakh Ghar To Banaya — Mir Taqi Mir

मुनइ'म ने बना ज़ुल्म की रख घर तो बनाया पर आप कोई रात ही मेहमान रहेगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

If Munim built a house of oppression, he built it, but you will remain a guest for only one night.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks of fleeting relationships and the harsh realities of emotional commitment. The poet suggests that even if someone (Munaim) creates a beautiful, seemingly stable world, the relationship itself is temporary. It's a poignant reminder that some connections are meant only for a brief, beautiful visit, not a lifetime residence. It speaks to the transient nature of love and human attachment.
