लज़्ज़त से नहीं ख़ाली जानों का खपा जाना
कब ख़िज़्र ओ मसीहा ने मरने का मज़ा जाना
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The heart of the beloved is full of delight; when did Khizr or the Messiah ever experience the taste of death?
Explanation
This couplet delves into the profound depths of spirituality and detachment. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the true essence of life is not defined by worldly pleasures, nor is it merely the struggle of living. He asks a rhetorical question: when did even figures like Khizr and the Messiah—who are symbols of divine knowledge—ever experience the 'pleasure of dying'? It implies that those who attain true enlightenment are beyond the cycle of life and death, transcending mere earthly desires.
