मत मानियो कि होगा ये बे-दर्द अहल-ए-दीं
गर आवे शैख़ पहन के जामा क़ुरआन का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Do not believe that these heartless people of religion will appear simply wearing the robes of the Quranic tradition.
Explanation
This powerful couplet delivers a stark warning about hypocrisy. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that one cannot trust the outward appearance of piety. Even when people come dressed in the garments of religion, proclaiming devotion, their hearts can be cruel and merciless. It is a timeless critique of those who use faith as a mask for their true, often brutal, intentions.
