भूल जाना नहीं ग़ुलाम का ख़ूब
याद ख़ातिर रहे मिरा साहब
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Master, please do not forget the charm of your slave, for I remain in your memory.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound plea for remembrance. The poet is telling the beloved, 'Don't forget the slave's beauty.' He doesn't ask for love, or even favor, but simply to be kept in memory. He asks, 'For the sake of memory, let my name remain, Master.' It captures the ultimate vulnerability of the lover—that the greatest fear is not rejection, but being completely forgotten.
