The crowd still does not disperse from the path of that cruel person, friends; however, the necks of those oppressors will someday be severed.
This couplet is a powerful declaration of defiance. Mir Taqi Mir is addressing an oppressive force, describing how the obstacles (the 'crowd' or 'bheed') surrounding the cruel person (Zalim) never dissipate. The core message is one of inevitable reckoning. The poet suggests that the oppressors' reign will not last; eventually, their heads will fall. It is a poetic promise of justice and revenge, delivered with profound weariness and simmering rage.
