Kahin Paivand Hun Yarab Zamin Ke — Mir Taqi Mir
कहीं पैवंद हूँ यारब ज़मीं के
फिरेंगे उस से यूँ कब तक जुदा हम
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O beloved, I am merely a speck of dust on the earth; how long shall we remain separated from that source?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of an inescapable attachment to the world, or perhaps, to life itself. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, declares that he feels like a captive of the Earth. He questions the divine how long they must remain separated from this very existence. It is a beautiful expression of deep yearning—a realization that even when separated, the pull of life and the earth remains irresistible.
