Meri Barbadiyan Durust Magar — Jigar Moradabadi
मेरी बर्बादियाँ दुरुस्त मगर
तू बता क्या तुझे सवाब हुआ
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Granted that my destruction was justified, but tell me, did you gain any divine reward or virtue from it?
Explanation
Here, the lover accepts their own destruction with quiet, heartbreaking dignity, almost brushing aside their own ruin as justified. But then comes the gentle sting in the second line: did breaking me bring you any true peace, virtue, or divine blessing? It exposes the tragic futility of cruelty in love, reminding us that hurting someone leaves even the inflictor spiritually empty.
