In Said-afganon Ka Kya Ho Shikar Koi / Hota Nahin Hai Aakhir Kaam — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What will become of these Sayyid Afghans, what prey is there for any hunter? / For in the end, there is no point to testing them.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the idea of an insurmountable challenge. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that some people, or perhaps some situations, are beyond capture or control. No matter how hard you try, they remain untouched by your efforts. It’s a meditation on the limits of human effort when faced with something truly exceptional or untouchable. It’s a recognition of power that defies definition.
