In the lush, verdant land of India, such a thing happened that 'Mir', your Deccan region, written in this couplet, is gone. (Meaning: Something happened in the fertile land of India, to the point that the poet's work captured the essence of the Deccan region.)

This poignant couplet is a lament for the state of Urdu literature itself. Mir Taqi Mir is not speaking of a physical place, but rather the decline of the 'Rekhta'—the rich literary tradition of Urdu—in the North. He feels that the culture and the art form, which flourished in the fertile lands of Hindustan, have been lost or diminished, perhaps wandering off to distant lands like the Deccan. It is a profound expression of cultural melancholy and loss.
