कुंज-ए-क़फ़स से इक दिन होगी रिहाई अपनी मर जाएँगे तो आख़िर सय्याद किया करेगा
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

One day we will surely be freed from the corner of this cage; after all, once we are dead, what will the hunter do?

Explanation

Imagine a trapped bird in the corner of a cage, looking toward its captor not with terror, but with a quiet, tragic defiance. The poet reimagines death not as defeat, but as the ultimate liberator from pain and oppression. After all, the moment the soul takes flight in death, the hunter's chains lose all their power.
