Gul Khile Sad Rang To Kya Be-pari Se E Naseem — Mir Taqi Mir
गुल खिले सद रंग तो क्या बे-परी से ए नसीम
मुद्दतें गुज़रीं कि वो गुलज़ार का जाना गया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
What is the use of the flower blooming in its true color, O breeze, when the entire garden has already been lost?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the pain of irreversible loss. The poet asks the gentle breeze, 'What is the point of colorful flowers, O breeze, when the entire garden itself has vanished?' It's not about the beauty that's missing, but the entire world, the entire 'gulzaar' (garden), that has disappeared over time. It conveys a deep sense of emptiness and the passage of time's cruelty.
