Truly shameless are those sinners who stretched out their hands before the curtain of grace, according to Meer.

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.
