जहाँ अब ख़ार-ज़ारें हो गई हैं यहीं आगे बहारें हो गई हैं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Where once there were barren, thorny areas, blooming flowers and greenery now flourish.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet speaks of profound transformation and the cyclical nature of life. It suggests that even in the deepest despair or the most difficult times (the 'thorns'), the seeds of beauty and renewal are already sown. Mir Taqi Mir reminds us that every ending holds the promise of a glorious beginning. Hope is not something that arrives from afar; it grows right where the pain was.
