Chali Jaati Hai Husb Qadr-e-buland / Door Tak Us Pahaad Ki Hai Daang — Mir Taqi Mir
चली जाती है हसब क़द्र-ए-बुलंद
दूर तक उस पहाड़ की है डाँग
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The mountain's crest stretches far, and the worth (or esteem) of someone departs as far as that high crest.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet uses the grandeur of nature—a mountain path—to illustrate a profound life lesson. The poet suggests that anything of truly high value, or 'qadr-e-buland,' naturally possesses an inherent scope and endurance. Just as the path of a great mountain extends far, the influence or worth of a noble person or idea cannot be contained. It speaks to lasting impact and inherent quality.
