Ab Toh Chup Lag Gayi Hai Hairat Se — Mir Taqi Mir
अब तो चुप लग गई है हैरत से
फिर खुलेगी ज़बान जब की बात
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Now you have fallen silent in astonishment; the tongue will speak when the time is right.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks of a sudden silence, a silence born not of indifference, but of deep surprise or awe. The poet suggests that this quietude is temporary. When the right moment or the right conversation arrives, the silence will break, and the speaker's true feelings or words will finally flow out. It's a poetic promise that silence often precedes a profound revelation.
