Hum Khaak Mein Mile To Mile Lekin Ai Siphar — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If I found you in the dust, I found you, but O time/season, you must bring that intoxicated one back to the path.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the nature of longing and destiny. The poet suggests that physical meetings, even in the afterlife (the dust), are inevitable. However, the real struggle lies in guiding that wild, passionate spirit—the 'shauq'—back onto a righteous path. It's a contemplation on how memories and emotions, once untamed, require guidance, even when time itself (Siphar) seems to fail.
