सजाया हम ने मज़ामीं के ताज़ा फूलों से बसा दिया है इन उजड़ी हुई ज़मीनों को
— Mir Anees
Meaning

We have adorned these barren grounds (or poetic meters) with fresh blossoms of new themes, thereby bringing them back to life.

Explanation

Here, the poet plays brilliantly with the word 'zameen', which means barren soil on the surface, but also refers to the meter and rhyme structure of a ghazal. By planting fresh, original ideas like fragrant blossoms, the poet breathes new vitality into tired poetic traditions that had grown desolate. It is a warm, confident celebration of how pure creativity can turn an exhausted wasteland into a thriving, colorful garden.
