Wasf-e-khat-o-khayal Mein Khooban Ke Mir — Mir Taqi Mir
वस्फ़ ख़त-ओ-ख़ाल में ख़ूबाँ के 'मीर'
नामा-ए-आमाल सियह कर गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the letters of Wusf and Khayal, the 'Mir' has made the name of deeds black.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the disconnect between outward beauty and inner reality. The 'नामा-ए-आमाल' (record of deeds) turning black suggests that despite a captivating appearance or eloquent letters, the person's actions are stained by sin or deceit. It is a poignant critique, reminding us that true worth lies not in superficial charm, but in the purity of one's deeds.
