Jigar-chaki Nakaami Duniya Hai Aakhir — Mir Taqi Mir
जिगर-चाकी नाकामी दुनिया है आख़िर
नहीं आए जो 'मीर' कुछ काम होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The world is ultimately a heart-breaking failure; if Mir does not come, nothing will happen.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the universal nature of failure. The poet suggests that failure (naakaami) is the ultimate reality of life. He challenges the listener, stating that if he, Mir, cannot contribute or succeed, then what purpose does anything or anyone serve? It is a profound meditation on existence, questioning the value of effort when failure seems to be the only constant truth.
