रहा न दिल में वो बेदर्द और दर्द रहा
मुक़ीम कौन हुआ है मक़ाम किस का था
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
That heartless beloved did not remain in the heart, but the pain stayed behind; who has taken up residence here now, and whose place was this originally?
Explanation
This couplet captures the bitter irony of loss with gentle poignancy. The beloved, despite their indifference, has departed, yet the grief they brought behind has permanently moved into the vacant heart. The poet is left wondering in quiet sorrow: this home was built for the one they loved, so how has mere pain become its eternal resident?
