मिरे आशियाँ के तो थे चार तिनके
चमन उड़ गया आँधियाँ आते आते
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
My nest was made of merely a few straws, but as the storms arrived, the entire garden itself blew away.
Explanation

It speaks to that profound realization when our own small, delicate troubles are suddenly overshadowed by a tragedy so vast that nothing is spared.
