Yuun Hai Manzur Khana-virani — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
They desire the destruction of my home so much that they are purchasing my house just to lay it waste.
Explanation
This couplet captures a strikingly bitter and ironic picture of cruelty. The poet suggests that the world—or perhaps the beloved—is so obsessed with seeing him ruined that they actually pay good money to buy his house, just to have the pleasure of tearing it down. It speaks to an extreme emotional exhaustion, where someone's desire for your downfall is so deliberate and intense that even your destruction comes at a calculated cost.
