Aah Kis Andaaz Se Guzra Bayabaan Se Ki Meer / Jee Har Ik Nakhcheer Ka — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, what a style with which you passed through the desert, 'Meer'. That every trace of your existence remained in that Afghan saint.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound compliment, describing the unforgettable impact of a person's presence. The 'desert' (bayaaban) symbolizes something vast, empty, or hard to recall. The 'Sayyid-e-Afghan' is the subject whose presence was so striking that even the emptiness of the desert couldn't erase its memory. It suggests that the person's grace and demeanor leave an indelible mark on everything they touch.
