सैलाब हर तरफ़ से आएँगे बादीए में
जूँ अब्र रोते होगा जिस दम गुज़र हमारा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
A flood will come to the desert from every direction, and the clouds will weep the moment we pass by.
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful display of dramatic self-importance, typical of the confident Urdu poet. Mir Taqi Mir declares that his mere presence will be so overwhelming—like a flood in a garden—that even the cypress trees (abhr) will weep when he passes. It’s not just about the scenery; it’s about the profound emotional impact the poet believes he has on the world around him!
