ख़िज़्र जो मिल जाता है गाहे आप को भूला ख़ूब नहीं खोए गए उस राह के वर्ना काहे को फिर पाए गए
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

If one could meet Khizr, they would not forget you easily; otherwise, why would they find you again after losing you?

Explanation

This beautiful couplet delves into the mystery of guidance and destiny. The poet suggests that when a guiding presence, like Khizr, enters our lives, the memory of that encounter is permanent. He asks a profound question: If that guiding light hadn't appeared, how would we have found the lost paths that lie within us? It speaks to the idea that true wisdom or a significant connection is often the catalyst needed to begin a journey of self-discovery.
