Muqamir-khana-e-afaq Vo Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
मुक़ामिर-ख़ाना-ए-आफ़ाक़ वो है
कि जो आया है याँ कुछ खो गया है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The gathering place of the horizons is that place where whoever comes, has lost something.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the inherent transience and loss within existence. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the world, the 'dwelling of horizons,' is a place where nothing remains whole. Whatever essence, joy, or self enters this life, it inevitably loses a piece of itself. It is a beautiful meditation on the fleeting nature of time and memory.
