भले बनकर सुधार की फिर बात मत करना, जो वैर सड़न ने न किया, वो सुधार ने किया है।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

Please, do not speak of reform again. For the destruction that decay could not achieve, reform has accomplished.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the painful irony of 'improvement.' The poet, Amrut Ghayal, suggests that the damage caused by the attempt to fix or reform something is far worse than the damage inflicted by simple malice or spite. Sometimes, the effort to make things better ends up destroying the very thing it was meant to save. It's a commentary on the unintended consequences of good intentions.
