पढ़ पढ़ आलम फ़ाज़िल होया कदी अपने आप नूं पढ़िआ ई नहीं
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning

O, the state of being ruined by your favor, how you have yourself ruined by these new ways.

Explanation

This profound couplet by Bulleh Shah speaks to a universal sense of irony and neglect. The Shayar observes that the entire world, the cosmos, has shown immense grace and favor to humanity. Yet, he asks a poignant question: why has the world never shown such profound kindness or favor to itself? It is a beautiful reflection on the disparity between the external blessings we receive and the inherent neglect that sometimes pervades existence.
