Ghairat-e-Yusuf Hai Ye Waqt-e-aziz — Mir Taqi Mir
ग़ैरत-ए-यूसुफ़ है ये वक़्त-ए-अज़ीज़
'मीर' उस को राएगाँ खोता है क्या
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
This is the pride of Joseph in this precious time, 'Mir,' are you going to lose him for nothing?
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks of seizing the moment with integrity. Mir Taqi Mir compares the current time to the 'pride of Yusuf,' suggesting that this period is incredibly valuable. The poet then challenges himself (or the listener) with a rhetorical question: Would I waste this opportunity or this person like a stray dog? It's a plea to maintain dignity and guard the precious gifts of life.
