If you are a lover, you will know the worth of 'Meer'; now, you have a desire to be loved by someone.

This couplet is a masterful blend of melancholy and self-assertion. Mir Taqi Mir is speaking directly to the beloved, stating that true understanding of his poetic worth ('Qadr-e-Mir') will only come if they truly become a lover. However, the second line cuts deep: he observes that the beloved's heart is currently preoccupied with the affection of someone else. It's a poignant moment where the poet acknowledges his own enduring value, even when the beloved's attention wanders.
