The broom basket arrives at dawn, but the sun is in his/her hand.

This powerful couplet contrasts humility with inherent glory. The first line describes a seemingly mundane figure—one who arrives with a broom and gathers ashes, suggesting a humble or low status. However, the second line delivers a profound twist: although he deals with dust, the sun belongs to him. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that true worth and radiance are not determined by external appearance or social standing, but by an inner, divine light that shines regardless of circumstance.
