Nigahban Se Bhi Kya Hui Bad-gumani — Dagh Dehlvi
निगहबाँ से भी क्या हुई बद-गुमानी
अब उस को तिरे साथ कम देखते हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
What suspicion or mistrust has arisen even towards the guard, that we now see him with you so rarely?
Explanation
The poet observes with gentle irony that even the guard, stationed to keep lovers away, has mysteriously vanished from the beloved's side. It raises a wry question about the beloved's ever-deepening mistrust—has their suspicion grown so fierce that they can't even tolerate their own protector? Or perhaps there is a subtle hint that the guard, too, fell under the beloved's charm and was promptly dismissed.
