“tum hameshaa se chaman ke maalik
ham azal se vahii murGh-e-tah-e-daam”

You, as always, the ruler of the garden
We, since the beginning, the bird under the trap

poignant, isn’t it?

arey bhaa`i, daur-e-anjaam nahiin daur-e-jaam..jaam,Haa..N!

MurGh-e-tah-e-daam = bird under a hunter’s net

Thanks bahaar and Shoaib bhai!

What would the couplet mean in that case?

@bahaar You are right, it is indeed murgh-e-tah-e-daam.

“tum hameshaa se chaman ke maalik
ham azal se vahii marg-e-tah-e-daam”

what does “marg-e-tah-e-daam” mean?
perhaps it is “murGh-e-tah-e-daam”.

Tarmiim ki arz,

aik lamhaa saa chamaktaa dekhaa
phir na mai thii, na vo daur-e-jaam

tum hameshaa se chaman ke maalik
ham azal se vahii marg-e-tah-e-daam

shukriya
