ना-हक़ ये ज़ुल्म करना इंसाफ़ कह पियारे
है कौन सी जगह का किस शहर का कहाँ का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Literally, the couplet means: My beloved, stop calling this injustice justice. From which place, which city, or where exactly is this?
Explanation
This profound couplet questions the very nature of injustice. Mir Taqi Mir addresses the beloved, asking how such cruelty can be labeled as 'justice.' It suggests that the pain inflicted is so immense and baseless that its source—be it a place, a city, or any law—is fundamentally questionable. It’s a powerful cry of a heart that refuses to accept arbitrary suffering, demanding to know the legitimacy of the hurt.
