Uthae Tere Liye Bad-zabaniyan Un Ki — Mir Taqi Mir
उठाएँ तेरे लिए बद-ज़बानियाँ उन की
जिन्हों की हम को ख़ुशामद से नंग था आगे
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
We will bring up the venomous criticisms of those people who were not in need of our flattery.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the bitter aftermath of betrayal. The poet suggests that if someone asks for slander or bad speech about a person, we will readily provide it. Why? Because those are the very people whose excessive flattery and false promises we once endured. It captures the deep resentment felt when trust is broken, turning past sweetness into current venom.
