क्यूँकि न आते ख़ुल्द से आदम ज़मीन पर
मौज़ूँ वहीं वो ख़ूब है जो सुनते जहाँ की है
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Why would Adam not descend from Paradise to Earth? A story that is heard about this world is only fitting and appropriate right here.
Explanation
The poet delightfully justifies Adam's descent from Paradise to Earth as an inevitable and fitting destiny. While Heaven is a realm of untroubled perfection, the raw, bittersweet drama of human struggle and passion belongs entirely to this mortal world. Ultimately, a story written for the earth could only find its true meaning on the very stage meant for it.
