Barkh Mat Khoshe Ki Aur Apni Bayaan Kar Sohbat — Mir Taqi Mir
बर्क़ मत ख़ोशे की और अपनी बयाँ कर सोहबत
शुक्र कर ये कि मिरा वाँ दिल-ए-सोज़ाँ न हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not speak of the joy of others, but express your own companionship; be thankful that my burning heart has not happened.
Explanation
This profound couplet advises us to focus inward and speak of our own experiences, rather than dwelling on the faults or glories of others. Mir Taqi Mir tells us to be grateful that his heart remains intact, untouched by excessive pain. It's a plea for genuine connection—a reminder that true intimacy requires honesty about one's own emotional state, not just reciting praises.
