No one has been able to survive in this city of beauty; perhaps the custom of replying to a greeting is not followed here.

This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming power of beauty. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the 'city of beauty' (Shehar-e-Husn) is so enchanting that no one has ever truly settled there. The beauty itself is so consuming that even basic social customs, like responding to a greeting, might not exist. It’s a poetic way of saying that true, breathtaking beauty is beyond conventional rules and logic.
