Where is the modesty for every word? The sword is drawn now for every talk. He has become so brazen with us.

This couplet is a perfect blend of defiance and hurt. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, addresses a lover who has become too comfortable, too bold. He questions where the modesty (sharam-o-haya) has gone, suggesting that every casual word is now like a 'shamshir' (sword). He feels that the beloved has crossed a line, becoming unrestrained and too open with his emotions. It speaks to the pain of emotional exhaustion when love loses its delicate boundaries.
