Ikhlas Dil Se Chahiye Sajda Namaz Mein — Mir Taqi Mir
इख़्लास दिल से चाहिए सज्दा नमाज़ में
बे-फ़ाएदा है वर्ना जो यूँ वक़्त खोइए
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
For the prostration in prayer, sincerity is required; otherwise, wasting time is utterly useless.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir is a timeless lesson on spiritual sincerity. It reminds us that mere ritualistic performance, no matter how elaborate, is worthless if it is not backed by genuine devotion from the heart. The true value lies in 'Ikhlas'—the pure, heartfelt intention. Mir advises that if our actions are devoid of inner truth, then all the time spent on them is ultimately a waste.
