Sharm Samjhe Tire Taghaful Ko — Dagh Dehlvi
शर्म समझे तिरे तग़ाफ़ुल को
वाह क्या होशियार हम भी हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
We mistook your indifference for modesty or shyness; wow, how clever we consider ourselves to be!
Explanation
In this couplet, the lover looks back at his own desperate optimism with bittersweet irony. When the beloved completely ignored him, his hopeful heart mistook that cold indifference for delicate, maidenly shyness. That self-mocking sigh—'how clever we are'—captures the painful moment when the illusion shatters, leaving behind only a wry smile at one's own foolishness.
