Juz Lala Us Ke Jaam Se Paate Nahin Nishaan — Mir Taqi Mir

जुज़ लाला उस के जाम से पाते नहीं निशाँ है कोकनार उस की जगह अब सुबू ब-दोश
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

No traces are found in Lala's cup, and Subu B-Dosh has replaced Kokanar's place.

Explanation

This couplet is a beautiful meditation on change and the ephemeral nature of memory. The poet suggests that the beloved's essence is so subtle that it doesn't leave a visible mark, unlike spilled wine. The second line, comparing Konkanar to Subu Badosh, signifies that even physical beauty and familiar landscapes are constantly transforming. It’s a poignant reflection on how time erases the visible traces of what was once perfect.
