अब्र मत हम-चश्म होना चश्म-ए-दरिया-बार से
तेरी बारिश और है और उस की बारिश और है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning
O cloud, do not try to rival this eye that weeps rivers; your rain is of one kind, while its downpour of tears is completely different.
Explanation
The poet gently cautions the raincloud not to rival an eye that weeps like an overflowing river. A cloud's shower is merely physical water that comes and goes with the season, but the rain falling from these eyes is the unending sorrow of a wounded heart. It is a striking reminder that nature's grandest downpours pale in comparison to the boundless depth of human emotion.
