We left this world consumed by the memory of the one who, ironically and cruelly, has completely forgotten us.
This couplet captures the heartbreaking asymmetry of devotion with striking simplicity. The lover has spent their entire existence, and ultimately surrendered life itself, immersed in the memory of the beloved—yet the cruel irony is that the beloved has wiped them from memory completely. The word 'ghazab' carries both bewilderment and sheer anguish, laying bare the quiet tragedy of giving everything to someone who cannot even recall your name.
