If you write anything, my name will remain on your lips, in your hidden corners; from your silence, this has emerged, that it is the reply to a reply.

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir speaks of the deep, silent power of unexpressed emotions. The poet suggests that if someone were to write something, there would always be a hidden message, a 'nama-bar,' remaining unspoken on the lips. But the true, most powerful message, the one that emerged from the silence itself, is the answer to the letter—the reply to the letter!
