Qadd-e-buland Agarche Be-lutf Bhi Nahin Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
क़द्द-ए-बुलंद अगरचे बे-लुत्फ़ भी नहीं है
सर्व-ए-चमन में लेकिन अंदाज़ा वो न पाया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Even if the lofty poem lacks grace, it could not guess the splendor of the whole garden.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the enigma of true depth. The poet suggests that even if someone possesses high stature or status, it doesn't guarantee that their true nature or complexity will be understood. The mystery lies in the fact that despite being in plain sight, the observer remains utterly clueless. It’s a powerful meditation on the hidden layers of human existence.
