हैं मकान ओ सरा ओ जा ख़ाली यार सब कूच कर गए शायद
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

The house and inn are empty, and perhaps all my friends have moved away.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet speaks of profound loneliness and abandonment. The poet observes that the house and the street are completely empty. He muses that perhaps all the people, all the companions and beloveds, have moved on or left. It captures that deep, melancholic feeling when one realizes that the familiar world, once filled with life, is now silent and deserted.
