'अनीस' यूँ हुआ हाल-ए-जवानी-ओ-पीरी बढ़े थे नख़्ल की सूरत गिरे समर की तरह
— Mir Anees
Meaning

O Anees, such was the reality of youth and old age: we grew tall like a tree, and eventually fell to the ground like its fruit.

Explanation

Mir Anees paints a poignant picture of life's natural trajectory through striking imagery. In our youth, we shoot up tall, proud, and full of ambition, much like a thriving palm tree reaching for the sky. Yet as old age arrives, our strength recedes, and we fall back to the earth as helplessly and softly as a ripe fruit detaching from its branch. It is a tender, humbling reflection on the fleeting nature of human glory.
