Na-Muradi Ki Rasm Mir Se Hai — Mir Taqi Mir

ना-मुरादी की रस्म 'मीर' से है तौर ये इस जवान से निकला
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

This custom, 'Na-Muradi', belongs to 'Mir', and this mannerism has emerged from this young one.

Explanation

This couplet is a declaration of artistic originality. By stating that the 'ritual of indifference' (Na-Muradi) comes from 'Mir,' Mir Taqi Mir is claiming that his unique style of melancholic resignation and deep emotional detachment is his personal signature. He is telling the audience that this specific, signature sorrow is not borrowed—it is intrinsically his own, setting the standard for his poetic persona.
