Hum Na Kahte The Ki Mat Dair-o-haram Ki Raah Chal — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We did not say that one should not walk the path of the forbidden/secret, but now this claim has spread among both the learned and the common people.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks of the overwhelming reach of a truth or an idea. The speaker says he never restricted the path of devotion or piety. However, the second line reveals that now, this specific claim or belief has spread so far—among the learned scholars and the common people—that it will persist right up until the Day of Judgment. It speaks to the unstoppable nature of a powerful idea that transcends all social and religious boundaries.
