ज़िंदगानी का मज़ा मिलता था जिन की बज़्म में उन की क़ब्रों का भी अब मुझ को पता मिलता नहीं
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Those people whose company once brought all the joy of living, today I cannot find even the trace of their graves.

Explanation

This couplet captures the heartbreaking contrast between the warmth of past gatherings and the cold emptiness of the present. The poet reminisces about companions whose vibrant presence once gave life its true meaning and joy. Yet time is so merciless that not only are those dear souls gone, but even their final resting places have been erased, leaving behind a profound ache of solitude.
