नहीं खुलतीं आँखें तुम्हारी टक कि मआल पर भी नज़र करो
ये जो वहम की सी नुमूद है उसे ख़ूब देखो तो ख़्वाब है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Your eyes do not open, so also look at the scale. Look closely at this illusionary sight; it is a dream.
Explanation
This couplet delves into the nature of perception and reality. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even when the gaze is captivated by something seemingly tangible, the deeper truth lies in recognizing the illusion. He advises us to look beyond the immediate spectacle—the 'vaham' (delusion)—because what we perceive as solid reality is merely a fragile, beautiful dream.
