Mund Gai Ankh Hai Andhera Pak — Mir Taqi Mir
मुँद गई आँख है अँधेरा पाक
रौशनी है सो याँ मिरे दम से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The closed eye is a pure darkness; the light comes either from you or from my very breath.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of internal darkness and self-reliance. The poet suggests that although the world might appear dark or hopeless (the closed eye), the only source of illumination or hope is the speaker's own breath or life force. It's a powerful declaration of finding light within oneself, even when everything else has faded.
