Gor-e-Majnun Se Na Jaawenge Kahin Hum Be-nawa — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We will not go anywhere from the Beloved Majnun, because we have flaws in us that cause us to leave behind much of our suffering.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the nature of devotion and attachment. The poet tells the listener, 'We will never leave the path of Majnun,' implying an unwavering commitment to love. However, he immediately corrects this assumption, stating that the real fault lies in abandoning one's spiritual guide or mentor (Peer). It’s a beautiful reflection that true devotion requires not just passion, but deep, continuous guidance.
