Kis Ka Ru-e-sukhan Nahin Hai Udar — Mir Taqi Mir
किस का रू-ए-सुख़न नहीं है उधर
है नज़र में हमारी सब की बात
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh you, whose conversation is not scented with fragrance, in our gaze, we speak of everyone's affair.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the profound power of the gaze. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that every person, regardless of their conversation style, has their secrets exposed simply by being looked at. It’s a warning, a challenge, and a declaration all in one—that true understanding pierces through all pretense. The poet claims that our mere observation is enough to reveal the truth about everyone's heart and words.
