मुग़-बचे माल मस्त हम दरवेश
कौन करता है मुश्त-माल हमें
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The Shayar says that we are intoxication-filled, carefree wandering ascetics; who bothers us with our drunken, carefree state?
Explanation
This profound couplet is a declaration of spiritual freedom. Mir Taqi Mir asserts that true devotion and peace come from detachment. We, the 'dervishes' (spiritual seekers), are so intoxicated by the path of truth that we no longer care for worldly possessions or material wealth. It’s a powerful reminder that the heart’s wealth far surpasses any physical treasure.
