rah-e-dur-e-ishq mein rota hai kya
Interesting Fact
The first Misra is often misquoted as 'Ibtida-e-Ishq Hai Rota Hai Kya', but the authentic version is the one present on Rekhta.
rāh-e-dūr-e-ishq meñ rotā hai kyā
aage aage dekhiye hotā hai kyā
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Meer Taqi Meer presents love as a long, demanding journey where early tears are premature. The speaker urges endurance, hinting that harsher trials may come later. The couplet carries a stoic, almost teasing consolation: don’t collapse at the start; love reveals its true cost as one moves forward.
