ख़ून हर यक रक़म शौक़ से टपके था वले
वो न समझा कि मिरे नामे का क्या मज़मूँ है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Every drop of blood was shed with passion, O beloved; he did not understand what meaning lay in my name.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the hidden value of a reputation or a name. The poet says that every drop of blood was spilled purely because of intense passion. Yet, the beloved (or the world) failed to grasp the true significance or depth—the 'mazmu'—that lay within the mere mention of his name. It's a lament about unappreciated sacrifice and misunderstood worth.
