Oh Meer, how can you know what flaws have occurred? They only know it when they are separated from that path.

This profound couplet speaks to the nature of pain and realization. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the true flaws or shortcomings of a person are often invisible while they are close to you. The depth of understanding, the recognition of truth, only dawns when separation occurs. It is the distance, the void, that forces the realization of what was once taken for granted. A beautiful commentary on the bittersweet truth of absence.
