Mushkil Hai Mit Gae Hue Naqshon Ki Phir Numood — Mir Taqi Mir
मुश्किल है मिट गए हुए नक़्शों की फिर नुमूद
जो सूरतें बिगड़ गईं उन का न कर ख़याल
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
It is difficult to recreate the designs of those who are gone; do not even think of the faces that have been ruined.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the irreversible nature of loss and memory. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that once something beautiful—a pattern, a memory, or a face—is erased or damaged, it cannot be perfectly recreated. The depth of the pain lies in accepting that some things, once broken or lost, must simply be left in the past, and we should stop dwelling on them.
