Din Nahin Raat Nahin Subah Nahin Shaam Nahin — Mir Taqi Mir
दिन नहीं रात नहीं सुब्ह नहीं शाम नहीं
वक़्त मिलने का मगर दाख़िल-ए-अय्याम नहीं
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Neither day, nor night, nor morning, nor evening; but the time to meet is not within the days.
Explanation
This couplet captures a profound sense of emotional stasis. The poet describes a state where the normal passage of time—day, night, dawn, evening—has ceased to matter. Yet, the real tragedy is deeper: not merely that time has stopped, but that the poet feels unable to enter the flow of life itself. It speaks to a deep yearning for connection and experience, trapped in a timeless, melancholic void.
