आई अगर बहार तो अब हम को क्या सबा
हम से तो आशियाँ भी गया और चमन गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
If this is spring, then what is there for us now? Both the beloved's abode and the garden have departed.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to a deep sense of existential disillusionment. The speaker acknowledges the beauty of spring (Bahaar) and the gentle breeze (Saba), but finds them meaningless. Why? Because the core elements of life—the comfort of the 'aashiyaana' (nest/home) and the beauty of the 'chaman' (garden/world)—have both departed. It's the realization that internal loss makes external beauty irrelevant.
