Tujhi Se Ibtida Hai Tu Hi Ik Din Intiha Hoga — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Everything begins with You and one day everything will end with You; neither the music of the instrument will remain, nor will any silent instrument be left.
Explanation
This couplet carries a profound mystical realization, seeing the Divine as both the origin and the final destination of all existence. The poet uses the evocative imagery of music to reflect upon our mortal world—the melody is life's vibrant expression, while the lute is the physical form itself. When the cosmic performance ends, both the song and the instrument will dissolve, leaving nothing behind except the eternal Creator.
