Hunar

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

wo saf-go hai magar baat ka hunar sikhe badan hasin hai to kya be-libas aaega

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

jis ki khatir main bhula baitha tha apne aap ko ab usi ke bhul jaane ka hunar bhi dekhna

mujh mein the jitne aib wo mere qalam ne likh diye mujh mein tha jitna husn wo mere hunar mein gum hua

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

tujhe bhula ke bhi sadiyan bhula nahin saktin magar ye shart hai khud mein kamal paida kar

hum parindon se hunar chhinega kaun jal gaya ek ghar to sau ghar ban gae

khuban-e-jahan hon jis se taskhir aisa koi hum ne hunar na dekha
