'मीर' किस को अब दिमाग़-ए-गुफ़्तुगू
उम्र गुज़री रेख़्ता छूटा गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Meer (the Shayar) now doesn't know whom to speak his mind to. His life has passed, and only a mere fragment remains.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound meditation on the passage of time and the disillusionment that comes with age. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the youthful preoccupations, the endless chatter, and the intellectual games of life (the 'mind of conversation') hold no meaning now. He feels that a crucial thread of life—be it youth, opportunity, or pure bliss—has slipped away, leaving him with a deep sense of melancholy and irreversible loss. It is a beautiful lament for lost time.
