तर्क-ए-रस्म-ओ-राह पर अफ़्सोस है दोनों तरफ़ हम से नादानी हुई या तुम से नादानी हुई
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

There is sorrow on both sides over the ending of our relationship; it remains unclear whether this mistake was made by us or by you.

Explanation

This couplet captures that quiet, tender sorrow after a relationship ends, where anger has settled into mutual regret. Instead of pointing an accusatory finger, the poet wonders with soft bewilderment about whose innocent misstep pulled them apart. It gently highlights that bonds are often broken not by cruelty, but by human fragility and naive mistakes that leave both hearts mourning what could have been.
