Rekhta Rutbe Ko Pahunchaya Hua Us Ka Hai — Mir Taqi Mir

रेख़्ता रुत्बे को पहुँचाया हुआ उस का है मो'तक़िद कौन नहीं 'मीर' की उस्तादी का
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

The glory that has reached the beloved's dwelling, belongs to the mastery of 'Meer', which is recognized by everyone.

Explanation

This powerful couplet is a tribute to the immense stature and influence of Mir Taqi Mir. The poet asks a rhetorical question: Whose grace has elevated the art of Urdu (Rekhta) to its current glorious state? The answer, of course, is the profound mastery ('Ustaadi') of Mir himself. It's a masterful piece of self-praise that establishes Mir's place as a foundational pillar of Urdu literature.
