Chhor Mat Naqd Waqt-e-nasiya Par / Aaj Jo Kuch Hai So Kahan Kal Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says not to abandon the time of forgetfulness, because what is here today will not be the same tomorrow.
Explanation
This profound couplet is a philosophical reminder about the relentless passage of time. Mir Taqi Mir urges us not to take life for granted, advising us never to abandon the precious 'time of forgetfulness' (नसिया). The core message is stark: everything that seems permanent or certain today—be it wealth, health, or even relationships—is utterly transient. We must live in the present moment, because tomorrow brings no guarantees.
