Even the mountains and deserts may not remain here forever; after all, who has ever stayed in this world permanently? It highlights the temporary nature of all existence.

This profound couplet speaks to the enduring power of memory and emotional attachment. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even the vastness of mountains and deserts (Koh-o-Sehra) cannot destroy the scent (baash) of a beloved. The second line asks a deeply rhetorical question: Has anyone, till this day, truly left this place (yaan)? It suggests that the essence of love and remembrance lingers so strongly that the world itself seems trapped within its magic.
