Munh Se Bas Karte Na Hargiz Ye Khudaa Ke Bande — Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
Meaning
These servants of God would never say 'enough'; even if God gave the greedy His entire dominion, they would still not be satisfied.
Explanation
This couplet gently points at human greed. The poet says these people, driven by endless craving, would never once say enough. Even if God handed them the entire universe, their mouths would still not stop asking for more. It is a quiet observation about the nature of a greedy heart. No matter how much such a person receives, satisfaction never arrives. The hunger simply grows larger. Through this, the poet reminds us that true contentment does not come from getting more, but from learning to say enough. Greed is a well with no bottom.
