शगूफ़े देख कर मुट्ठी में ज़र को मुस्कुराते हैं
कि जब उम्र इस क़दर कोताह रखते हैं तो ज़र क्या हो
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning
The blossoms smile seeing the gold held within their fist, wondering what use wealth is when life itself is so fleeting.
Explanation
The poet captures a poignant, beautiful image of buds blooming into flowers. The golden pollen nestled inside a closed bud looks like a tiny fist tightly clutching wealth; as the bud blooms, it resembles a gentle smile mocking the very idea of hoarding. It softly reminds us that when existence itself is so brief and delicate, clinging desperately to material wealth is utterly meaningless.
