सो काहे को अपनी तू जोगी की सी फेरी है
बरसों में कभू ईधर हम आन निकलते हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, why is your life like that of a wandering ascetic? In years, we never leave this place.
Explanation
This poignant couplet captures the feeling of being left behind by a loved one who seems restless and wanderlust. The speaker questions the beloved's nomadic lifestyle—'Why do you roam like an ascetic?'—while asserting that their own roots are deep and stable. It's a beautiful lament about the contrast between the transient nature of the beloved's journey and the unwavering commitment of the speaker's heart.
