मुझे पीरी और शबाब में जो है इम्तियाज़ तो इस क़दर कोई झोंका बाद-ए-सहर का था मिरे पास से जो गुज़र गया
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

For me, the only difference between youth and old age is simply this: youth was like a gust of morning breeze that swiftly swept past me.

Explanation

Here, the poet looks back at life with a gentle, wistful sigh, noting how fragile and fleeting the boundary between youth and old age truly is. Youth is imagined not as an entire season of life, but merely as a momentary gust of the morning breeze that brushed past and vanished before one could even hold it. It captures that quiet ache we all feel when realizing how swiftly time slips away from us.
