Bekali Maare Daalti Hai Naseem — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Naseem is casting a spell with his breath; look what these years will bring.
Explanation
This profound couplet uses the natural world—the breeze (Naseem)—as a metaphor for the unpredictable nature of time and fate. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the wind blows with a careless, unrestrained energy. He is warning us, 'Look at the coming years!' The poem reminds us that life is transient and constantly changing. We cannot rely on the patterns of the past to predict the future, because time itself is capricious and unpredictable.
