Hamari Taraf Ab Vo Kam Dekhte Hain — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
They rarely look towards us now, and these are no longer the same eyes that we used to gaze upon.
Explanation
This couplet captures the quiet ache of growing apart and emotional estrangement. It is not merely that the beloved looks our way less often; the deeper grief is that even when they do glance at us, the warmth, recognition, and intimacy of the past have vanished. The poet mourns that painful shift where familiar eyes look upon you like a stranger, proving that coldness within a gaze hurts far more than physical distance.
