बस हो तो इधर-ऊधर यूँ फिरने न दें तुझ को
नाचार तिरे हम ये देखें हैं चलन बैठे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you are ready, do not let me wander here and there, for we, your helpless ones, have observed your behavior.
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful blend of exasperation and deep affection. The speaker is tired of the beloved's constant wandering and indecision. He pleads for the beloved to stop moving aimlessly, stating that he has observed the beloved's true, settled nature, or 'chalan,' beneath the facade of restlessness. It speaks to the pain of seeing someone you love behave in a way that contradicts their true self.
