Raah Rakhte Hain Us Ke Daam Se Said — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
His worth is maintained by the hand of destiny; he is beyond any spell, curse, hunting, or deception.
Explanation
This powerful couplet is a warning about the deceptive nature of love and relationships. The poet suggests that true wisdom lies in maintaining emotional distance, especially from those who mask their intentions. The 'pretense of hunting' (शिकार-फ़रेब) refers to the deceptive games played by people who seem charming but are actually dangerous. It is a profound message about self-protection and recognizing the difference between genuine affection and calculated deceit.
