The lightning striking the garden and the swan watching when I weep are two vivid images used by the Shayar to emphasize the significance of a particular moment or event.

This profound couplet by Mir Taqi Mir paints a picture of sorrow so deep that it affects the natural world. The poet suggests that even the falling of lightning and the actions of a swan are linked to the intensity of his grief. His tears are not just personal; they are an event that changes the atmosphere, drawing attention to the beloved's presence. It’s a beautiful, dramatic declaration that the beloved is the center of both the speaker's existence and the universe's rhythm.
