Kahne Laga Ki Dekh Ke Chal Rah Be-khabar — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
He started saying that when he saw (me/it), he walked an unknown path; I too was once filled with the pride of my head.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of humility and the journey of self-realization. The speaker acknowledges that someone has noticed his wandering, suggesting he walks an unknown path. But he counters this observation by reminding the listener that he, too, once possessed immense pride and arrogance. It's a gentle lesson: life's journey strips away all our boasts, leaving us with mere self-awareness.
