वो कौन था कि तुम्हें जिस ने बेवफ़ा जाना ख़याल-ए-ख़ाम ये सौदा-ए-ख़ाम किस का था
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Who was the person that considered you unfaithful, and whose naive thought and crude obsession was this?

Explanation

Here, the speaker looks back with a tender, self-mocking smile at the foolishness of ever doubting their beloved. Phrases like 'khayal-e-khaam' and 'sauda-e-khaam' evoke the image of raw, half-baked delusions—suggesting that calling the beloved faithless was merely the paranoia of an insecure heart. Instead of holding onto bitterness, the poet gently sweeps away past grievances, taking the blame for ever harboring such naive doubts.
