The clamor of the apocalypse, if it comes, will not be new, we have endured so many such upheavals.

This profound couplet speaks to the endurance of the human spirit. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the chaos of the apocalypse (Hangaama-e-Qayamat) is not a novel event. Instead, he reminds us that we have already lived through countless upheavals and crises. It’s a meditation on resilience—a deep acceptance that suffering and turmoil are cyclical parts of life, and we are built to withstand them.
