'मीर' के दीन-ओ-मज़हब को अब पूछते क्या हो उन ने तो क़श्क़ा खींचा दैर में बैठा कब का तर्क इस्लाम किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Why do you now inquire about Mir's religion or creed? He has already drawn his cloak and debated the tenets of Islam in seclusion for a long time.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks of deep disillusionment. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, questions why the listener is concerned about his faith or religion now. He implies that the situation is already decided by fate or society—a 'bow drawn' and 'logic established' in the wilderness. It suggests that external pressures or circumstances have already forced a belief system, rendering superficial questioning meaningless.
