बाग़-ए-जन्नत में समाँ क्या होगा तू नहीं जब तो वहाँ क्या होगा
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

What would the atmosphere in the garden of Paradise be like? When you are not there, what could possibly be there?

Explanation

Here, the poet tenderly suggests that even the promised splendor of heaven is hollow without the presence of the beloved. The imagery of 'Bagh-e-Jannat'—the ultimate garden of divine peace and beauty—is gently set aside because true paradise is not a place, but a person. For a heart in love, eternity has no charm if it cannot be shared with the one who gives life its meaning.
