वा'इज़ को ये जलन है शायद कि फ़रबही से रहता है हौज़ ही में अक्सर पड़ा मगर सा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Perhaps the preacher feels jealousy because he often lies in the basin, but in a different manner, stemming from Farbahi.

Explanation

This profound couplet is a sharp critique of hypocrisy. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that perhaps the preacher (Wazeez) feels jealous of Farbahi's grace. The line implies that while the preacher might frequent the pool, his presence or piety is merely superficial—a mere show, lacking genuine depth or connection. It speaks to the difference between outward appearance and true spiritual substance.
