Mir Gum-gasta Ka Milna Ittifaqi Amr Hai — Mir Taqi Mir

'मीर' गुम-गश्ता का मिलना इत्तिफ़ाक़ी अम्र है जब कभू पाया है ख़्वाहिश-मंद पाया है बहुत
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

Shayar Meer says that the finding of the lost is a matter of coincidence; when one has found something, the desirous have found much.

Explanation

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the unpredictable nature of destiny. It suggests that when we are searching for something specific—a lost item, a lost love, or a specific opportunity—the universe often gifts us something far greater than what we initially sought. The meeting of the 'lost' and the 'found' is merely a coincidence, a beautiful twist of fate that leads to unexpected abundance.
