Qata Hi Hai Dalil Ai Meer Us Teg Ki Be-abi / Reham Un Ne Mire Haq — Mir Taqi Mir
क़तई है दलील ऐ 'मीर' उस तेग़ की बे-आबी
रहम उन ने मिरे हक़ में मुतलक़ न रवा रखा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
By no means, O Meer, is the argument the thirst of that sword; / They have not kept compassion for my right unconditional.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound lament on betrayal. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the 'evidence' (dलील) of conflict is merely a dry sword—meaning the threat is now empty or useless. However, the true pain, the real evidence, is the withdrawal of mercy (रहम) from the beloved or the world. It speaks of a deep sense of injustice, where even the fundamental rights of the heart are neglected!
