Dahar Bhi Mir Turfa-e-maqtal Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
दहर भी 'मीर' तुर्फ़ा-ए-मक़्तल है
जो है सो कोई दम को फ़ैसल है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh Mir, this cup is the intoxication of death; whatever is destined is decided in a moment.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the harsh realities of existence. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even the passage of time, the very 'day,' is a battlefield. Nothing is peaceful or stable. He asserts that whatever destiny awaits us, whatever struggle or fate we face, will be decided in a single, critical moment. It's a powerful reminder of life's unpredictability and the transient nature of peace.
