From this time, what does it matter to me, for the lamp of time was not lit when the world had no gentle breeze or spring air.

This profound couplet speaks to the eternal nature of the poet's spirit. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the current moment or circumstance holds no power over him. He implies that his essence is so enduring, it predates the very concept of time, suggesting that before the world was breathed into existence, there was no gentle breeze or spring air—and thus, no creation, including his worries, could exist.
