Ab Bhi Dimagh-e-rafta Hamara Hai Arsh Par — Mir Taqi Mir
अब भी दिमाग़-ए-रफ़्ता हमारा है 'अर्श पर
गो आसमाँ ने ख़ाक में हम को मिला दिया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O Arsh, even after the sky cast us into dust, our mind remains wandering.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the enduring nature of the self. Mir Taqi Mir declares that even though the heavens (Aasmaan) have reduced him to mere dust, his inner essence, his intellect, or spirit ('dimaagh-e-rafta'), remains elevated, still resting upon the divine throne (Arsh). It's a powerful assertion of the soul's resilience, suggesting that true identity transcends physical annihilation.
