अजब नहीं है जो शीशों में भर के ले जाएँ इन आँसुओं को फ़रिश्ते गुलाब समझे हैं
— Mir Anees
Meaning

It would not be surprising if the angels fill their bottles with these tears and take them away, as they have mistaken them for rosewater.

Explanation

The poet elevates the tears of deep, heartfelt sorrow into something sacred and precious. Here, 'gulab' evokes pure rosewater, an essence of divine fragrance and cleanliness. The tender image of angels descending to collect these tears in delicate glass bottles reminds us that grief born of true devotion is never lost—it is recognized by the heavens as an offering of supreme beauty.
