Tu Jahan Ke Bahr-e-amiq Men Sar Par Hua Na Buland Kar / Ki Ye — Mir Taqi Mir
तू जहाँ के बहर-ए-अमीक़ में सर पर हुआ न बुलंद कर
कि ये पंज-रोज़ा जो बूद है कसो मौज-ए-पुर का हबाब है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not raise your head in the deep ocean of existence, for this mere day-fasting is the froth of a powerful wave.
Explanation
This profound couplet is a message of resilience. Mir Taqi Mir tells us not to raise our heads or worry excessively in the vast, deep ocean of life. Why? Because the current struggles—the 'five-day fast'—are nothing more than the transient, fleeting foam of a passing wave. It advises us to maintain perspective and remember that temporary hardships rarely reflect the true depth of our challenges.
