छाई जाती है ये वहशत कैसी घर बयाबान हुआ जाता है
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

What kind of dread and desolation is spreading all over, that the home is turning into a barren wilderness?

Explanation

In this evocative couplet, the poet captures how profound sorrow and loneliness can completely distort our sense of space. A home—meant to be a comforting sanctuary—gradually begins to feel like a haunted wilderness ('bayabaan') under the creeping shadow of deep emotional distress ('wahshat'). It powerfully shows that desolation does not belong to the desert alone; when the heart is broken, even familiar four walls can swallow you in their emptiness.
