Muft Yun Haath Se Na Kho Ham Ko — Mir Taqi Mir

मुफ़्त यूँ हाथ से न खो हम को कहीं पैदा भी होते हैं हम से
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Do not let us slip away so easily, for from us, life itself is born. (Meaning: Do not lose us so easily, because life originates from us.)

Explanation

This profound couplet is a beautiful plea for emotional care. The poet isn't asking to be kept merely for convenience; he is asserting his inherent, fragile worth. He warns the beloved not to discard him lightly, because he is something rare—something that appears spontaneously, like a miracle. It speaks to the deep fear of being undervalued, a universal ache of the heart.
