आह उन ख़ुश-क़ामतों को क्यूँके बर में लाइए
जिन के हाथों से क़यामत पर भी अर्सा-ए-तंग है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The poet asks why those who are content-hearted should be brought into the rainy season, given that their hands hold even the eternity of the Day of Judgment.
Explanation
This profound couplet questions the very timing of existence. Mir Taqi Mir asks, 'Why bring those happy, contented souls into this world?' He argues that even on the Day of Judgment (Qayamat), whose hands are restricted by time, the sheer presence of such 'happy' people is a burden. It suggests that true happiness is often tied to a profound, inescapable sorrow or destiny.
