बिना रक्खी है ग़म पर ज़ीस्त की ये हो गया साबित न लपका आह का छूटेगा जब तक साँस चलती है
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

It has now been proven that the foundation of life is built upon sorrow, and this habit of sighing will not cease as long as breath continues.

Explanation

The poet arrives at a tender yet heartbreaking realization: life itself has been built entirely upon the foundation of grief. Sighing in pain is no longer an occasional reaction, but an ingrained habit intertwined with the very rhythm of breathing. Ultimately, the verse captures the bitter truth that as long as breath endures, sorrow will remain an inseparable companion until the final curtain falls.
