चली जाती है धड़कों ही में जाँ भी
यहीं से कहते हैं जाँ को रवाँ है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The soul departs within the beats of the heart, and from this very place, they declare the soul is flowing.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the paradox of existence. The poet suggests that life itself—the very life force (jaan)—is seen slipping away with every beat of the heart. Yet, from this same point of decline, people insist that the soul is vibrant and flowing. It's a poignant reflection on how we often deny the reality of our pain, clinging to the illusion of eternal vitality.
