रुस्वा-ए-जहाँ करता है रो रो के हमें तू हम तुझे कुछ ऐ दीदा-ए-नम कह नहीं सकते
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

O tearful eyes, by constantly weeping you disgrace us before the entire world, yet we are unable to say anything to you.

Explanation

Here, the poet shares a gentle, intimate conversation with his own weeping eyes. He complains that by constantly crying, they betray the secret grief of his heart and subject him to public embarrassment. Yet, there is a tender helplessness in his tone; he cannot bring himself to scold them, knowing that the tears are simply an innocent reflection of his profound inner pain.
