Jalwa Hai Usi Ka Sab Gulshan Mein Zamane Ke — Mir Taqi Mir
जल्वा है उसी का सब गुलशन में ज़माने के
गुल फूल को है उन ने पर्दा सा बना रखा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The splendor belongs only to him in all the gardens of the world; they have made the flowers of the world seem like a curtain.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming power of a single presence, often the beloved. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the entire world—all the beauty of the gardens and flowers—only reflects the glory of that one person. The physical beauty of the flowers, therefore, is nothing more than a mere curtain, masking the true source of splendor.
