तू तो नादान है निपट नासेह
कब मोअस्सिर तिरी नसीहत है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
You are a naive and careless person; when will your advice become effective?
Explanation
This couplet is a masterful critique of hollow advice. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is addressing someone who constantly gives advice, yet the advice itself is utterly ineffective. The irony is that the advice-giver is labeled 'naadaan' (naive) precisely because their words have no impact on reality. It speaks to the frustration of giving counsel that is simply ignored or misunderstood, making the entire effort feel futile.
