Na Nikla Kar Itna Bhi Be-parda Ghar Se — Mir Taqi Mir
न निकला कर इतना भी बे-पर्दा घर से
बहुत उस में ज़ालिम तो बदनाम होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not reveal so much from your home, otherwise, the cruel one will be infamous for it.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound commentary on reputation and public perception. The poet suggests that one shouldn't expose oneself so openly, or 'unveiled,' from the comfort of home. Why? Because if the beloved (the 'Zalim') is already infamous, this public exposure will only further tarnish their reputation. It's a warning about the delicate balance between personal freedom and social consequence.
