टुक ऐ मुद्द'ई चश्म-ए-इंसाफ़ वा कर
कि बैठे हैं ये क़ाफ़िए किस अदा से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O claimant of the eye of justice, please do, how these rhyming verses sit with such grace.
Explanation
This is a brilliant piece of meta-poetry from Mir Taqi Mir. The poet addresses the listener—the 'accuser' whose eyes are full of judgment—and asks them a profound question: By what magic or grace do these rhymes (qaafiye) sit so beautifully? It’s a moment where the poet steps back and celebrates the sheer artistry of language itself. He is asking the audience to appreciate the mystery and inherent beauty of the poetic form.
