Hum Bhi Phirte Hain Yak Hasham Le Kar — Mir Taqi Mir
हम भी फिरते हैं यक हशम ले कर
दस्ता-ए-दाग़-ओ-फ़ौज-ए-ग़म ले कर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We too wander, carrying a cup of sorrow, and the hand of blemishes and armies of grief.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the burden of existence. It suggests that the poet wanders not just with a certain pride (ishm), but also carrying a heavy burden: the 'armory of stains' and the 'army of sorrow.' It's a beautiful portrayal of the melancholic soul, which carries its pain and past mistakes with a resigned, yet defiant, grace.
