सदा है फ़िक्र-ए-तरक़्क़ी बुलंद-बीनों को हम आसमान से लाए हैं इन ज़मीनों को
— Mir Anees
Meaning

High-minded people are always concerned with rising and making progress, whereas we have brought down these poetic grounds from the skies.

Explanation

Here the poet plays delightfully on the word 'zameen'—which means both earthly soil and the poetic meter of a ghazal. While ambitious souls with lofty vision are forever striving to ascend to the heavens, the poet cheekily reminds them that true artists have already plucked these poetic grounds straight from the sky. It is a warm celebration of creative genius, reminding us that art brings divine inspiration right down to our tangible world.
