मौत का घर है आसमाँ इस से कहीं मफ़र नहीं निकलें तो कोई दर नहीं भागें तो रहगुज़र नहीं
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

The sky is the abode of death and there is no escape from it. If one tries to exit, there is no door, and if one tries to flee, there is no path.

Explanation

Here, the poet envisions the vast sky not as a realm of limitless freedom, but as an inescapable dome that shelters our mortality. Trapped beneath this cosmic ceiling, humanity finds neither a doorway to slip away from fate nor a path to run towards refuge. It is a poignant reflection on existential vulnerability, gently reminding us how frail and cornered we truly are in the face of inevitable death.
