Aib

na thi haal ki jab hamein apne khabar rahe dekhte auron ke aib o hunar padi apni buraiyon par jo nazar to nigah mein koi bura na raha while unknowing of myself, in others faults did often see when my own shortcomings saw, found no one else as bad as me the couplet turns from judging others to judging oneself. the poet says that ignorance of one’s own inner state leads to fault-finding in others, but self-scrutiny brings humility. seeing one’s own defects softens the gaze and dissolves harsh judgments. the emotional core is moral awakening and compassion born from introspection.

shart saliqa hai har ek amr mein aib bhi karne ko hunar chahiye meer taqi meer says that refinement is essential in all actions, not just in polite deeds. even criticism must be done with tact, timing, and measured words; otherwise it becomes mere rudeness. the couplet highlights that true “fault-finding” is also a craft—meant to correct, not to wound.

hamare aib ne be-aib kar diya hum ko yahi hunar hai ki koi hunar nahin aata

husn ye hai ki dilruba ho tum aib ye hai ki bewafa ho tum

dost har aib chhupa lete hain koi dushman bhi tera hai ki nahin

sab ki tarah tu ne bhi mere aib nikale tu ne bhi khudaya meri niyyat nahin dekhi

khush-nasibi mein hai yahi ek aib bad-nasibon ke ghar nahin aati

main us ke aib us ko batata bhi kis tarah wo shakhs aaj tak mujhe tanha nahin mila

hum ko aapas mein mohabbat nahin karne dete ek yahi aib hai is shahr ke danaon mein

kisi ke aib chhupana sawab hai lekin kabhi kabhi koi parda uthana padta hai

ek din wo mere aib ginane laga 'faragh' jab khud hi thak gaya to mujhe sochna pada

sach hai is ek parde mein chhupte hain lakh aib yani janab-e-shaikh ki dadhi daraaz hai

hamare aib mein jis se madad mile hum ko hamein hai aaj kal aise kisi hunar ki talash

tesha-ba-kaf ko aaina-gar kah diya gaya jo aib tha use bhi hunar kah diya gaya

'qaem' main ikhtiyar kiya shairi ka aib pahuncha na koi shakhs jab apne hunar talak

pas tha zar to koi aib na tha sab uyub aae be-zari ke sath

bahut milne se aib dikhte hain kam-kam bahut dekhte hain jo kam dekhte hain

kahin pe naqs mile aur koi baat bane wo dhundte hain mere sud mein ziyan sa kuchh
