बस हैं दो बर्ग-ए-गुल क़फ़स में सबा
नहीं भूके हम आब-ओ-दाने के
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Only two petals of the flower are in the cage, O Spring; we are not hungry for water or grain.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of contentment and detachment. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the mere presence of beauty—the two leaves of the rose in the cage, and the gentle spring breeze—is enough. We do not need material wealth or sustenance to survive. It's a powerful statement that true richness comes from appreciating the simple, beautiful moments in life, rather than chasing worldly possessions.
