Tumhen Gharaz Jo Karo Rahm Pa.emalon Par — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Why should you bother to pity those trampled beneath your feet; you should simply keep admiring the playful grace of your own stride.
Explanation
There is a sharp mix of playful reproach and utter devotion in this couplet. The poet wryly tells the beloved not to bother pitying those who lie crushed underfoot; rather, they should simply revel in the intoxicating, teasing charm of their own graceful stride. The metaphor of being 'paa-e-maal' (trampled) captures the willing surrender of the lover, who finds hypnotic beauty even in the beloved's careless cruelty.
