ہجراں میں کیا سب نے کنارہ آخر
Hijraan mein kya sab ne kinaara aakhir
اسباب گیا جینے کا سارا آخر
Asbaab gaya jeene ka saara aakhir
In separation, everyone finally turned away.
All means of living finally vanished.
In separation, everyone finally turned away.
All means of living finally vanished.
Finally, neither endurance, nor patience and courage remained.
Ultimately, my fate was sealed.
This rubai expresses profound despair, a recurring theme in classical Urdu poetry, particularly within the ghazal tradition. It poignantly describes the ultimate toll of separation (hijran), leading to the erosion of all means of life, physical strength, and mental fortitude, culminating in a fatalistic acceptance of one's end.
