Talea Jo Mir Khwari Mehboob Ko Khush Ai — Mir Taqi Mir
तालेअ' जो मीर ख़्वारी महबूब को ख़ुश आई
पर ग़म ये है मुख़ालिफ़ देखेंगे सब तमाशा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Although the tune pleased Mir Khwari's beloved, alas, we shall witness the spectacle of sorrow.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of a lover's supreme confidence. Mir Taqi Mir says that if he has the power to bring happiness to his beloved, he doesn't care about the onlookers. The true sorrow, the 'gham,' is that the entire spectacle—his joy, his struggle, his very existence—will be watched by his adversaries. It's a declaration of defiance in the face of judgment.
