उसी जो ख़ूबी से लाए तुझे क़यामत में तो हर्फ़-ए-कुन ने किया गोश दाद-ख़्वाहों का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The very quality that brings you to doom is the 'Kun' (Be) command that gave voice to desires.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks about the overwhelming power of divine creation. The poet suggests that if the Divine brings us into the Day of Judgment with grace and perfection, then even the most persistent human desires (the longing hearts) are sacrificed by the very letter 'Kun' (Be). It is a powerful reminder that ultimate reality surpasses our personal wishes.
