आने का इस चमन में सबब बेकली हुई
जूँ बर्क़ हम तड़प के गिरे आशियान से
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The reason for coming into this garden is unknown; we fell from the nest, yearning with every breath.
Explanation
This poignant couplet is a profound plea for purpose. The speaker addresses a beautiful garden (representing life or love's domain) and asks, 'What is the reason for entering this place?' The second line uses the metaphor of a wounded bird that has fallen from its nest, describing a state of utter despair and yearning. It perfectly captures the feeling of being lost in a beautiful, yet overwhelming, world, desperately seeking direction and comfort after deep pain.
