Meri Rusva.i Ki Naubat Aa Ga.i — Dagh Dehlvi

मेरी रुस्वाई की नौबत आ गई उन की शोहरत कू-ब-कू होने लगी
— Dagh Dehlvi

Meaning

The moment has arrived for my disgrace and humiliation, while their fame has begun to spread from street to street.

Explanation

There is a poignant, bittersweet contrast here between the lover's ruin and the beloved's glory. When their hidden passion spills into public view, the lover is branded with scandal and shame, while the beloved's beauty and charisma become the talk of every alley. In the ghazal tradition, this captures the tender sacrifice of love, where one heart gladly accepts disgrace just so the other can become legendary.
