Be-sharm Mehaz Hai Woh Gunahgar Jin Ne Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
बे-शर्म महज़ है वो गुनहगार जिन ने 'मीर'
अब्र-ए-करम के सामने दामाँ तर किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Truly shameless are those sinners who stretched out their hands before the curtain of grace, according to Meer.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the nature of shamelessness and need. The poet suggests that the truly guilty are not those who fail, but those who, in the face of immense grace (the 'cloud of favor'), resort to begging or displaying their helplessness. It is a sharp critique of misplaced dependency, suggesting that true humility lies in accepting grace without demanding it.
