दिन का क्या ज़िक्र तीरा-बख़्तों में एक रात आई एक रात गई
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

Why even speak of daylight among the dark-fated; for them, one night simply arrives and another night passes away.

Explanation

This couplet paints a poignant portrait of unrelenting sorrow through the metaphor of perpetual darkness. For the ill-fated, those whose very destiny is shaded black, life offers no dawn or warmth of daylight. Time is reduced to a hollow, endless cycle where one dark night merely gives way to another, capturing the quiet heartbreak of a life devoid of hope.
