Jo Woh Likhta Kuch Bhi Toh Naama-bar Koi Rahti Munh Mein Tere Niha; — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If you write anything, my name will remain on your lips, in your hidden corners; from your silence, this has emerged, that it is the reply to a reply.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks of the deep, silent power of unexpressed emotions. The poet suggests that if someone were to write something, there would always be a hidden message, a 'nama-bar,' remaining unspoken on the lips. But the true, most powerful message, the one that emerged from the silence itself, is the answer to the letter—the reply to the letter!
