तबीअतों का नुमू है हवा-ए-मग़रिब में ये ग़ैरतें ये हरारत ये गर्मियाँ कब तक
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Human temperaments are flourishing in the Western breeze; how long can this sense of honor, passion, and inner warmth last?

Explanation

The poet reflects on the sweeping tide of Western influence, wondering how long traditional passion and Eastern cultural pride can hold their ground. The 'breeze of the West' brings intellectual and worldly growth, yet it threatens to cool down the fiery inner warmth, fierce dignity, and spiritual zeal that defined our identity. It is a poignant, lingering question about whether our soulful warmth will survive the cold pragmatism of the modern world.
