No one spoke of my murder, but rather of the scorchings (or burnings) upon them.

This couplet is a powerful commentary on superficial concern. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that when facing death, people do not worry about the poet's life itself, but rather focus on the symbolic details—like the 'Mohar' (seal) placed on the funeral pyre. It speaks to how society often cares more about reputation, rituals, and appearances than the genuine essence or the suffering of a person.
