Tha Pushta Reg-e-bad Ye Ik Waqt Qarvan — Mir Taqi Mir
था पुश्ता रेग-ए-बाद ये इक वक़्त कारवाँ
ये गर्द-बाद कोई बयाबाँ नवर्द था
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Through this desert of dust, a caravan passed by; this dust-cloud was not from a desert.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks about the transient nature of beauty and comfort. The poet compares a passing caravan to a sudden oasis in the vast desert. He suggests that the seemingly comforting dust or sand isn't merely the product of a barren wasteland. It implies that sometimes, the most beautiful moments or the greatest solace are fleeting, yet they feel profoundly real in their moment of arrival.
