Kahte Hain Aage Tha Buton Mein Raham / Hai Khuda Jaaniye Yeh Kab Ki — Mir Taqi Mir
कहते हैं आगे था बुतों में रहम
है ख़ुदा जानिए ये कब की बात
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says that there was mercy in the idols before; know this, O God, that this is an old tale.
Explanation
This profound couplet challenges human assumptions about divine grace. When people talk about finding mercy (rahmah) in idols or rituals, Mir Taqi Mir asks us to pause. He suggests that true, ultimate mercy is not something that can be assigned to objects or customs. It is a secret, a mystery, known only to God. It’s a powerful reminder that faith must rest on absolute trust, not on mere human conjecture.
