हम वे हैं सुन रखो तुम मर जाएँ रुक के यकजा
क्या कूचा कूचा फिरना उनवान है हमारा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We are those; listen, you can stop and die, it is our title to wander through every alleyway.
Explanation
This couplet is a declaration of absolute freedom and defiance. Mir Taqi Mir paints a picture of wanderers whose very existence is tied to the journey itself. They are so committed to their path that even death cannot stop them. The lines suggest that for these people, the act of wandering—of traversing every lane and corner—is not just a habit, but their very identity, their 'unwan.' It speaks to a life lived purely for the sake of the road.
