Every step reminds us that we have come into this world only to depart; this realm of existence is not a place to attach one's heart to.
This couplet beautifully captures the fleeting nature of human existence, picturing life not as a permanent home, but as a journey through a transit lounge. Every step we take forward is also a step toward our eventual departure, quietly ticking down our time here. The poet gently reminds us not to lose our hearts or seek permanence in a world that is, by its very design, temporary.
