Mir Bandon Se Kaam Kab Nikla — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When the Shayars (or artists) fail to deliver, whatever you need must be sought from God.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound meditation on where true help lies. Mir Taqi Mir questions the perpetual struggle and efforts of the artists and poets (the 'Mir' class). He suggests that if a person genuinely needs something—whether it's peace, success, or inspiration—they should not rely on human effort or praise. Instead, they must turn their heart and their plea directly to God. It’s a powerful reminder of divine sovereignty over human endeavor.
