I wandered through every street for your sake with eyes filled with tears; after giving my heart to you, I was completely ruined.
This couplet paints a touching picture of a lover wandering aimlessly through the streets, eyes heavy with tears ('chashm-e-pur-aab'), consumed by the thought of the beloved. There is an aching honesty here; giving one's heart did not bring comfort, but instead unravelled the lover's entire world. The phrase 'kharab hua' captures both ruin and utter helplessness, showing how profound love can sometimes lead to complete emotional desolation.
