Dhoka Hai Tamaam Bahr Duniya — Mir Taqi Mir
धोका है तमाम बहर दुनिया
देखेगा कि होंट तर न होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says that the whole world is a deception, and it will see that the lips will not be wet.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming disappointment of life. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the entire ocean of the world is nothing but deceit. The second line is a powerful declaration of emotional withdrawal—a promise that the speaker's heart, though perhaps tempted, will remain guarded and unswayed, showing that the beloved's promises will not melt the frost of his resolve.
