मुँह करिए जिस तरफ़ को सो ही तिरी तरफ़ है
पर कुछ नहीं है पैदा कीधर है ऐ ख़ुदा तू
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Whichever direction you turn, that direction is yours, O Beloved, but truly, nothing is created anywhere, O God.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir is not about love, but about existence itself. It poses a deep philosophical question: If everything points towards you, O God, where did the initial source of creation come from? It challenges the notion of omnipresence by questioning the absolute beginning. It is a magnificent meditation on the mystery of being!
