ढूँडा न पाइए जो इस वक़्त में सौ ज़र है
फिर चाह जिस की मुतलक़ है ही नहीं हुनर है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I cannot find a hundred gold coins at this moment, nor is there any skill to achieve a love that is absolute.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound commentary on the nature of modern desires. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that if even material wealth, like a hundred gold coins, is scarce in this era, then how can one possibly expect to find or sustain a love that lacks any permanent foundation or mastery? It's a lament that contrasts the difficulty of acquiring tangible riches with the impossibility of securing lasting emotional fulfillment.
