mauquuf fasl-e-gul pe naheen
1 / 1: Couplet
nazren javaan hon to
khizaan bhi bahaar hai
the radiance of the garden
needs no season of flowers
if the sight is young and alive
even autumn blooms like spring

Interpretation
The splendour of a garden has nothing to do with what the garden is doing.
It has everything to do with who is looking.
Nazren javaan — eyes that are alive. Not a matter of age, but of orientation. The person who carries that quality of attention walks into KHizaan — into autumn, into ruin, into the slow disintigration of things — and finds it no less luminous than spring.
Most of us wait. For the blossoming, the arrival, the right conditions. The poet says that wait is the problem.
When the gaze itself is young, the world perpetually flowers.
