इस गुलशन-ए-दुनिया में शगुफ़्ता न हुआ मैं हूँ ग़ुंचा-ए-अफ़्सुर्दा कि मर्दूद-ए-सबा हूँ
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

In this garden of the world, I did not blossom; I am a wilted bud, a scattered breath of the spring breeze.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir captures the profound melancholy of unfulfilled potential here. He says that in this garden of the world, he has not blossomed. He compares himself to a wilted bud, scattered like the breeze. It's a beautiful, poignant self-portrait of someone who feels incomplete or unseen, existing merely as a gentle, transient whisper amidst the vibrancy of life.
