O Zafar, why should I be aggrieved by what the rival says? Neither is the beloved that kind of person, nor am I such a person.

In this reflective couplet, Zafar gently comforts his own heart, questioning why he should let the malicious gossip of a rival disturb his peace. He takes refuge in the quiet, unshakable trust shared with his beloved—neither is she so petty or fickle as to act maliciously, nor is he so fragile as to doubt their bond over idle whispers. It is a graceful portrait of emotional maturity, reminding us that true understanding effortlessly rises above the noise of outside malice.
