Kiya Tha Rekhta Parda-sukhna Ka — Mir Taqi Mir
किया था रेख़्ता पर्दा-सुख़न का
सो ठहरा है यही अब फ़न हमारा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I once created a veil of verse and poetry, and this remaining essence is now our art.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the transformation of a mere habit into an identity. Mir Taqi Mir is telling us that the art of weaving veiled words—the subtle, delicate curtain of poetry—was something he once started. But now, it hasn't just remained a craft; it has become the very essence of his being. For the poet, the act of writing is no longer a choice, it is his destiny!
