Qayamat Kya Ye Ai Husn-e-do-alam Hoti Jaati Hai — Jigar Moradabadi
क़यामत क्या ये ऐ हुस्न-ए-दो-आलम होती जाती है
कि महफ़िल तो वही है दिल-कशी कम होती जाती है
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
O beauty of both worlds, what calamity is this unfolding, that while the gathering remains the same, its charm keeps diminishing?
Explanation
Here, the poet laments a quiet, tragic shift in his inner world. Even though the beloved is present and the gathering looks completely unchanged on the outside, its vibrant charm is slipping away. It captures that heartbreaking moment when life or love loses its enchantment, not due to an outward disaster, but because the heart has quietly grown weary.
