आलम में लोग मिलने की गों अब नहीं रहे हर-चंद ऐसा वैसा तो आलम बहुत है याँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

There are no longer people in this world worth meeting. Although this world is filled with plenty of ordinary and common people, those with true depth and character are gone.

Explanation

This poignant couplet suggests that the world has lost its simple, genuine spirit of connection. Mir Taqi Mir observes that the ease and purity with which people once met and interacted are gone. The world today is overwhelming, filled with so many complex, varied, and artificial elements that genuine human connection struggles to survive.
