I closed my eyes in the bed of my youth, weeping, as if I had spent the night awake, and found rest when morning came.

This couplet by Mir Taqi Mir is a profound meditation on the passage of time and the exhaustion of struggle. The 'vow of youth' represents the intense, restless struggle of life—the sleepless nights and the tears shed in pursuit of dreams. The second line suggests that after enduring the entire night of struggle, the dawn finally brings a moment of necessary rest. It speaks to the ultimate surrender to fate, recognizing that even the most passionate struggle must eventually yield to peace.
