ख़ता-मुआफ़ ज़माने से बद-गुमाँ हो कर तिरी वफ़ा पे भी क्या क्या हमें गुमाँ गुज़रे
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

Forgive my mistake; having grown distrustful of the world, I ended up harboring all sorts of doubts even about your loyalty.

Explanation

Here, the lover makes a tender and remorseful confession. Having been repeatedly bruised and deceived by the harsh world, their heart grew so wary that it momentarily doubted even the beloved's genuine devotion. It captures the poignant tragedy of how outside trauma can cast unintended shadows over the purest and most trusting bond.
