Parde Hi Mein Chala Ja Khurshid To Hai Behtar — Mir Taqi Mir

पर्दे ही में चला जा ख़ुर्शीद तो है बेहतर इक हश्र है जो घर से वो बे-हिजाब निकला
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

It is better for Khurshid to remain behind the curtain, because the resurrection is for one who leaves home unveiled.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir paints a picture of delicate longing. The speaker prefers the sun's light to remain veiled, suggesting that the beauty, while desired, is best appreciated from a distance. The true anxiety, however, is not the absence of beauty, but the presence of someone who is too unrestrained, too exposed, or too free from the constraints of society. It's a commentary on the danger of unchecked passion.
