Baat Amal Ki Chali Hi Jaati Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The talk or process of action can surely proceed, but the leg cannot move without 'auz' and 'unuk'.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the difference between theoretical action and practical difficulty. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that turning words into deeds (बात अमल की चली ही जाती है) is relatively easy. However, he points to the 'leg of Auj-bin-Unuq'—a reference to something incredibly delicate, intricate, or sensitive. It implies that while general actions are simple, dealing with matters that require extreme finesse and care is the true challenge of life.
