मुझ को तुम से ए'तिमाद-ए-वफ़ा
तुम को मुझ से पर इल्तिफ़ात नहीं
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
I have complete faith in your loyalty and faithfulness, but you pay no attention or regard to me.
Explanation
This couplet captures the quiet heartbreak of one-sided devotion with immense dignity. The lover harbors unshakeable faith in the beloved’s goodness and loyalty, yet the painful irony is that the beloved doesn't even spare them a fleeting glance. It is a tender reflection on how deep love often lives in the poignant gap between complete trust and total indifference.
