पाँव में चोट आने के प्यारे बहाने जाने दे पेश-रफ़्त आगे हमारे कब ये उज़्र लंग है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Let the beloved take the excuses of pain in their feet, for our forward march, what fault can they ever bring?

Explanation

This couplet is a profound reflection on excuses and the nature of departure. Mir Taqi Mir questions the validity of the excuses used by people to leave. He suggests that while temporary, physical reasons might be accepted, these excuses cannot sustain a relationship or a life journey that is genuinely moving forward. It's a beautiful, melancholic challenge to those who use reasons as shields for their absence.
