આઘે જવાના કોઈ ઓરતા નહીં ને અહીં થોભ્યાનો લાગે છે થાક.
— Suresh Dalal
Meaning

There is no desire to journey far, and the weariness of staying right here is strongly felt.

Explanation

This couplet beautifully captures a sense of weary stagnation. It speaks of a soul that has lost the desire to move forward, to strive for new horizons. There are no longer any aspirations or wishes to venture further. Yet, paradoxically, simply staying put, waiting, or being still, has become incredibly tiring. It's a profound feeling of being stuck in a rut, where neither progress nor inertia offers any comfort, only a deep sense of exhaustion from the very act of existing in that suspended state. It perfectly describes a moment when one feels worn out by the standstill itself, lacking the will to break free.
