Zamin O Asman Zer-o-zabr Hai — Mir Taqi Mir
ज़मीन ओ आसमाँ ज़ेर-ओ-ज़बर है
नहीं कम हश्र से ऊधम हमारा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The earth and the sky, beneath and above, are subject to our unrest.
Explanation
This powerful couplet is a commentary on the audacity of human nature. The poet states that while the entire universe—earth and sky—are under the dominion of a higher power, the mischief (udham) created by humanity is nothing less than the immense, overwhelming gathering (Hashr) of judgment day. It suggests that the chaos and complexity of human actions are almost as monumental as the cosmic forces themselves.
