Kaun Si Raat Zamaane Mein Gayi Jis Mein Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
कौन सी रात ज़माने में गई जिस में 'मीर'
सीना-ए-चाक से मैं दस्त-ओ-गरेबाँ न हुआ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What night in the world passed, in which I, 'Mir', could not become detached from the chest of the beloved?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir questions the passage of time, suggesting that some nights took away a fundamental part of the self. The 'seena-e-chaak' refers to the core of the heart or being. The poet implies that he hasn't become a stranger to his own heart, meaning his true self and emotions remain intact, despite the world's changes. It's a beautiful reflection on emotional authenticity.
