Sher of Meer Taqi Meer
nāzukī us ke lab kī kyā kahiye
pañkhuḌī ik gulāb kī sī hai
Rekhta
AI Explanation
मीर अपनी सहल शायरी में कोई जोड़ नहीं रखते हैं। जिस सच्चाई और आसानी के साथ वो विषयों को बयान करने की क्षमता रखते हैं उसकी मिसाल मुश्किल ही से मिलती है।
इस शे’र में मीर ने बड़ी मासूमियत और सादगी के साथ अपने महबूब के हुस्न की तारीफ़ बयान की है। ज़ाहिर है कि हुस्न की तारीफ़ के बयान में महबूब के होंटों का बयान बहुत अहम वस्तु है। मीर अपने महबूब के होंटों की नाज़ुकी मुलाइमियत या नम्रता को बयान करते हुए उपमा देते हैं और वो उपमा गुलाब के फूल की पंखुड़ी से देते हैं। गुलाब की पंखुड़ी बहुत नाज़ुक होती हैं, बहुत नरम होती हैं, इतनी नरम और इतनी नाज़ुक होती हैं कि मीर को अपने महबूब के होंटों की बनावट बिल्कुल गुलाब की पंखुड़ी की तरह नज़र आती है। गुलाब की पंखुड़ियाँ बहुत ही उचित उपमा है, जो महबूब के होंटों के लिए दी जा सकती है और मीर ने इस मुनासिब तरीन उपमा का इस्तेमाल करके ये साबित कर दिया कि उपमा के चुनाव में भी उनका कोई बदल नहीं है।
आसान लफ़्ज़ों में कहा जाये तो बात साफ़ समझ में आती है कि मीर अपने महबूब के होंटों को गुलाब की पंखुड़ी की तरह महसूस करते हैं, उसकी नाज़ुकी की या उसकी नम्रता की वजह से और इस तरह इस उपमा ने महबूब के हुस्न का बेहतरीन नक़्शा खींच दिया है।

pattā pattā buuTā buuTā haal hamārā jaane hai
jaane na jaane gul hī na jaane baaġh to saarā jaane hai
only the flower's unaware, rest of the garden knows
my state,each leaf and every bud that in the garden grows
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Every leaf and every little plant knows what I’m going through.
Whether the flower knows it or not, the whole garden surely knows my state.
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Every leaf and every little plant knows what I’m going through.
Whether the flower knows it or not, the whole garden surely knows my state.
The speaker’s grief has become so visible that even nature seems aware of it. Each leaf and twig is a witness to the lover’s condition, while the “flower” (the beloved) remains unaware or indifferent. By contrasting the garden’s knowing with the flower’s not knowing, the couplet captures the ache of unreturned attention and public, undeniable sorrow.

le saañs bhī āhista ki nāzuk hai bahut kaam
āfāq kī is kārgah-e-shīshagarī kā
breathe here softly as with fragility here all is fraught
in this workshop of the world where wares of glass are wrought
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Even breathe softly, because the matter is extremely delicate.
This whole universe is like a glassmaker’s workshop, where everything can crack.
Meer Taqi Meer portrays the world as a fragile glass workshop: a place of beauty, but easily shattered. The advice to “breathe softly” is a metaphor for living with extreme care, because a small disturbance can cause harm. The couplet carries a quiet awe and anxiety—existence is precious, yet breakable. It urges mindfulness in speech, action, and desire within a delicate cosmos.

mat sahl hameñ jaano phirtā hai falak barsoñ
tab ḳhaak ke parde se insān nikalte haiñ
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Don’t think I am something ordinary; the heavens keep turning for years.
Only then do true humans emerge from the veil of dust.
Rekhta
AI Explanation
ये मीर तक़ी मीर के मशहूर अशआर में से एक है। इस शे’र की बुनियाद ''मत सहल हमें जानो” पर है। सहल का मतलब आसान है और कम से कम भी। मगर इस शे’र में यह लफ़्ज़ कम से कम के मानी में इस्तेमाल हुआ है। फ़लक का मतलब आस्मान है और फ़लक के फिरने से तात्पर्य चक्कर काटने और मारा मारा फिरने के भी हैं। इस शे’र में फ़लक के फिरने से तात्पर्य मारा मारा फिरने के ही हैं। ख़ाक का मतलब ज़मीन, मिट्टी है और ख़ाक शब्द मीर ने इस लिए इस्तेमाल किया है कि इंसान ख़ाक (मिट्टी) से बना हुआ है यानी ख़ाकी कहा जाता है।
शे’र में ख़ास बात ये है कि शायर ने “फ़लक”, “ख़ाक” और “इंसान” जैसे शब्दों से बहुत कमाल का ख़्याल पेश किया है। शे’र के नज़दीक के मानी तो ये हुए कि ऐ इंसान हम जैसे लोगों को आसान मत समझो, हम जैसे लोग तब मिट्टी से पैदा होते हैं जब आस्मान बरसों तक भटकता है। लेकिन शायर अस्ल में ये कहना चाहता है कि हम जैसे कमाल के लोग रोज़ रोज़ पैदा नहीं होते बल्कि जब आस्मान बरसों मारा मारा फिरता है तब हम जैसे लोग पैदा होते हैं। इसलिए हमें कम या बहुत छोटा मत जानो। यानी जब आस्मान बरसों तक हम जैसे कमाल के लोगों को पैदा करने के लिए मारा मारा फिरता है तब कहीं जाकर हम मिट्टी के पर्दे से पैदा होते हैं।
इस शे’र में शब्द इंसान से दो मानी निकलते हैं, एक कमाल का, हुनरमंद और योग्य आदमी। दूसरा इंसानियत से भरपूर आदमी।

AI Explanation
Since evening, I’ve been feeling dim and lifeless.
My heart has become like a poor man’s lamp.
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Since evening, I’ve been feeling dim and lifeless.
My heart has become like a poor man’s lamp.
The speaker describes an inner dimness that begins with evening, a time often linked with loneliness. The heart is compared to a poor man’s lamp: it gives a weak, unsteady light and is always close to going out because it lacks oil. Through this metaphor, Meer Taqi Meer conveys emotional depletion—love and life feel underfunded, fragile, and fading.

sirhāne 'mīr' ke koī na bolo
abhī Tuk rote rote so gayā hai
Rekhta
AI Explanation
Don’t speak near Meer’s pillow; let him be.
He has only just fallen asleep after crying for a long time.
Rekhta
AI Explanation
मीर के इस शे’र में कमाल की नाटकीय स्थिति पाई जाती है। इस नाटकीय स्थिति में कम से कम तीन पात्रों की कल्पना की जा सकती है। यदि यह मान लिया जाए कि काव्य पात्र कई लोगों से संबोधित हैं तो पात्रों का निर्धारण करना मुश्किल है। अर्थात ये कहना कि कितने लोग मीर की मिज़ाजपुर्सी के लिए आए हैं, स्पष्ट नहीं होता। इस शे’र में शब्द “टुक” (अर्थात ज़रा सा)को बीज स्थिति प्राप्त है क्योंकि इसी से शे’र में प्रभाव पैदा किया गया है। “रोते-रोते” से जो निरंतर रोने की स्थिति पैदा की गई है वो भी कम दिलचस्प नहीं है।
शे’र एक दृश्य की स्थिति को बयान करता है। सम्बोधित का लहजा चेतावनीपूर्ण भी हो सकता है और आग्रहपूर्ण भी। दूसरी स्थिति ये बनती है कि सम्बोधन केवल उन लोगों से है जो मीर के सिरहाने बैठ कर या तो गुफ़्तगू करते हैं या फिर मीर की तबीयत का हाल सम्बोधित से पूछ रहे हैं। ज़ाहिर सी बात है कि जो लोग मिज़ाजपुर्सी सिरहाने बैठ कर करते हैं वो बीमार के ज़्यादा क़रीबी होते हैं। बहरहाल सम्बोधित का मीर के सिरहाने बैठ कर गुफ़्तगू करने वालों से कहना कि मीर के सिरहाने कोई न बोलो से ये भी स्पष्ट होता है कि मीर ज़रा सी आवाज़ से भी जाग सकते हैं। “अभी टुक रोते-रोते सो गया है” में कमाल की नाटकीयता है। अर्थात सम्बोधित गवाह है कि मीर ने बहुत देर तक रोया है, अब थक-हार के अभी ज़रा सा सो गए हैं। ज़रा सा जब कहा तो मानो मीर अभी उठकर फिर से रोना शुरू करेंगे।
