If we, like poor mendicants, receive any insult from the brethren of this age, just say that it will be good, my brother, it will be good.

This profound couplet speaks to the philosophy of detachment and inner peace. Mir Taqi Mir advises living a life of simplicity, much like a mendicant (faqir), detached from worldly trappings. The second line is a powerful statement on resilience: even if you are subjected to harsh criticism or abuse (a curse), simply acknowledging it with a positive, gentle response—'Bhala' (well/good)—is enough to neutralize the negativity. It’s a masterclass in emotional self-control.
