Namus Mujhe Safi Tinat Ki Hai Varna — Mir Taqi Mir
नामूस मुझे साफ़ी तीनत की है वर्ना
रुस्तम ने मिरी तेग़ का हमला न सँभाला
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My reputation is one of purity, otherwise, Rustam would not have withstood the strike of my arrow.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the sanctity of honor (Namoos). The poet suggests that his honor is so sacred that if it were questioned or soiled, even a mighty warrior like Rustam wouldn't be able to withstand the force of his sword. It elevates the concept of reputation above physical strength, implying that a man's self-respect is his greatest weapon!
