Teri Mahfil Tere Jalve Phir Taqaza Kya Zarur — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
This is your gathering and your splendor, so why was there any need to demand that I leave? Look, O cruel beloved, I am getting up and leaving on my own.
Explanation
This couplet captures the sharp sting of being unwelcome in the very presence of the one you adore. Surrounded by the beloved's captivating charm, the lover realizes that hints are being dropped for him to leave, wounding his pride. Rather than pleading to stay, he gathers his shattered dignity and makes a dramatic, poignant exit, letting his departure be his final answer.
