बे-फ़ाएदा अलम नहीं बे-कार ग़म नहीं तौफ़ीक़ दे ख़ुदा तो ये नेमत भी कम नहीं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

Suffering and grief are neither purposeless nor in vain; if God grants the grace and strength to endure them, then this pain is also no small blessing.

Explanation

In this reflective couplet, the poet invites us to see sorrow through an entirely different lens. Pain and grief are not futile burdens; they soften the ego, deepen empathy, and polish the soul. If God grants the spiritual grace and fortitude to endure it wisely, even heartache transforms into a profound blessing.
