मौत आई तो टल नहीं सकती
और आई नहीं तो फिर क्या है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning
If death comes, it cannot be averted, and if it has not arrived yet, then there is nothing to fear.
Explanation
This couplet captures a refreshingly fearless and simple philosophy of life. The poet reasons that if death has arrived, nothing in the world can turn it away; and so long as it hasn't, why let its looming shadow poison the present? It is a warm, liberating reminder to stop obsessing over inevitable truths and instead live each moment with courage and peace.
