Since the world was brought to life from the dust of Adam, this mirror was worthy of being seen.

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir draws a stunning contrast between cosmic creation and personal exclusivity. The first line suggests that the entire universe exists, miraculously, because of a single source (dust/humanity). The second line brings us back to a deeply personal reflection: this mirror, or perhaps this beloved, was never meant for eyes that were worthy of such sight. It speaks of unattainable beauty and a grand destiny that remains out of reach.
