MORE BYShaikh Ibrahim Zauq

    kitne muflis ho ga.e kitne tavañgar ho ga.e

    ḳhaak meñ jab mil ga.e donoñ barābar ho ga.e

    however many paupers passed, and wealthy went and came

    when they were consigned to dust they were all the same

    Interpretation: Rekhta AI

    This couplet highlights the transient nature of worldly status and wealth. Zauq reminds the reader that while society divides people into rich and poor, death serves as the ultimate equalizer. In the end, everyone returns to the same earth, rendering all social hierarchies meaningless.
