Mir Ki Baat Pe Har Waqt Ye Jhunjhlaya Na Kar — Mir Taqi Mir
'मीर' की बात पे हर वक़्त ये झुँझलाया न कर
सड़ी है ख़ब्ती है वो शेफ़्ता है मजनूँ है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not always argue over the words of Mir; that woman is ruined, that woman is a seductress, and that woman is Majnun.
Explanation
In this powerful couplet, Mir Taqi Mir tells his listeners not to argue or get upset over his words. He humorously suggests that the people he mentions—Khubti, Shefta, and Majnoon—are all flawed or dramatic in their own ways. It’s a classic piece of self-aware poetry, suggesting that life itself is full of dramatic, imperfect characters, and we shouldn't judge them too harshly.
