तुझ से यूसुफ़ को क्यूँके निस्बत दें
कब शुनीदा हो दीदा के मानिंद
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Why should I compare myself to Yusuf (Joseph) because of you? When have I ever heard of the appearance of the eye?
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the unparalleled beauty and unique stature of the beloved. The poet questions why he should compare the beloved to figures like Prophet Yusuf, implying that such grand comparisons are insufficient. The second line is a declaration of absolute uniqueness—he has never encountered anyone like her. It is a profound tribute to unmatched grace.
