Us Rind Ki Bhi Rat Guzar Gai Jo Or Tha — Mir Taqi Mir
मुनइ'म के पास क़ाक़ुम ओ संजाब था तो क्या
उस रिंद की भी रात गुज़र गई जो ऊर था
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If Munim possessed the Kaqum and Sanjab, then even the night passed for that gentleman who was the essence.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the ultimate insignificance of worldly possessions and status. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even if a person were endowed with immense wealth and high status, it means nothing. The true measure of existence is the passage of time itself. Even the most eccentric or lost soul (rind) eventually witnesses the dawn—time marches on, regardless of our circumstances.
