shafaq se hain dar-o-divar zard sham-o-sahar hua hai lucknow is rahguzar men pilibhit the poet uses the yellow tint of shafaq (twilight) to paint an entire passageway in a fading, sickly color, suggesting weariness and change. by saying lucknow has become pilibhit on this route, he evokes displacement: a beloved, refined world feels replaced by a more distant, unfamiliar one. the couplet holds a quiet ache of decline and estrangement, as if the journey itself rewrites identity. the outer color becomes a metaphor for inner loss.
