Yaan Jahaan Mein Ki Shehr-e-Goraan Hai / Saat Parde Hain — Mir Taqi Mir
याँ जहाँ में कि शहर-ए-गोराँ है
सात पर्दे हैं चश्म-ए-बीना पर
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The poet says that in the city called Gora, there are seven veils upon the blind's eyes.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the illusion and complexity of existence. The poet suggests that while the world appears to be a beautiful, glowing city, our perception is flawed. The 'eye of the blind' refers to a profound, perhaps disillusioned, vision. The seven veils symbolize the layers of deception, societal norms, or ego that obscure the ultimate truth, making even deep insight incomplete.
