Jo Aadmi Pe Guzri Vo Ik Siva Tumhare — Dagh Dehlvi
जो आदमी पे गुज़री वो इक सिवा तुम्हारे
क्या जी लगा के सुनते अफ़्साने आदमी हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Apart from you alone, look how attentively and keenly people listen to the tales of everything that mankind has suffered.
Explanation
The poet touches on a poignant irony: people in this world eagerly listen to stories of human suffering, fascinated by the drama of heartbreak as entertainment. Yet, the single person whose empathy actually mattered—the beloved—remains completely aloof and indifferent. It beautifully contrasts the voyeuristic curiosity of the world with the aching silence of the one you truly love.
