बेकसी पर 'दाग़' की अफ़्सोस आता है हमें किस जगह किस वक़्त उस की ख़ाना-वीरानी हुई
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

We feel profound pity for the helplessness of Dagh; one wonders at what place and at what ill-fated moment his home and life were utterly ruined.

Explanation

In this couplet, Daagh looks at his own misery from the outside, mourning himself as if pitying another broken soul. The metaphor of 'khaana-veerani'—the ruination of a home—beautifully captures the total collapse of one's peace of mind and emotional sanctuary after succumbing to love. He wonders about the fateful moment and cursed place where this undoing began, blending quiet bewilderment with an ache that anyone who has lost their way in love can feel.
