Correction of one common literary mistake!

Mir Taqi Mir famous sher

Ibtidaye-ishq hai  rota  hai  kiya 
aage aage dekhiye hota hai kiya

It is wrong. Actual sher is

Rahe-daure-ishq main rota hai kiya 
aage  aage dekhiye  hota  hai  kiya   

 Most people read first misrah as Ibtidaye-ishq hai rota hai kiya  wrong

 (per Kuliyaate-Mir by Zille Abbas Abbasi, from Fort William College original reference)
