Mar Gaya Jo Aseer-e-qaid-e-hayaat — Mir Taqi Mir
मर गया जो असीर-ए-क़ैद-ए-हयात
तंगना-ए-जहान से निकला
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The one who died, a captive of life's prison, has emerged from the world's confinement.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks to the ultimate freedom. The poet suggests that death is not an end, but a liberation. For someone who felt trapped by the constraints of worldly life—the 'prisoner of captivity'—death is the only escape. It is a profound meditation on freedom, implying that the world itself can feel like a suffocating cage.
