Na-balad Ho Ke Reh-e-ishq Mein Pahunchun To Kahin — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If I reach the path of love, having lost all strength, I fear that even Khizr will call me astray, saying I am misguided.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the universal fear of the unknown, especially when pursuing love (Ishq). Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if one wanders down the path of passion without knowing the destination, society will inevitably label them 'lost' or misguided. It’s a poignant commentary on the judgment faced by those who follow their hearts, suggesting that true devotion often looks like wandering to an outsider.
