Na Hoga Vo Dekha Jise Kabk Tu Ne — Mir Taqi Mir
न होगा वो देखा जिसे कब्क तू ने
वो इक बाग़ का सर्व-अंदाम होगा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The one you have captured will not be seen; that entire garden will merely be a memory.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the transient nature of beauty and memory. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that what you have witnessed or experienced—no matter how beautiful—is merely a snapshot. The true, complete experience, the 'sarv-andam,' is like an entire garden, suggesting that true beauty is vast and fleeting, leaving only the memory of its perfect, yet unreachable, whole.
