Flowers have bloomed in every garden, but each person has only their own lap to gather them.
This couplet paints a vivid picture of life's abundance set against the limits of our individual destiny. While every garden is in full bloom with countless joys and blessings, each person can only gather what will fit into their own 'daaman'—the hem of their robe, symbolizing their personal capacity, luck, or receptivity. It is a tender reminder that happiness surrounds us everywhere, yet what we truly receive depends on our own fate and heart.
