is that even though the crime of love was proven even against strangers, O Beloved, we ourselves were the guilty ones to commit the murder.

This profound couplet captures the painful paradox of intense love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that even if the 'crime' of loving was universally condemned—a sin proven against everyone—the fault lay with us. It's an acceptance of guilt, not in spite of the beloved, but because the depth of the feeling itself was a transgression. It speaks to the idea that true love is inherently rebellious and self-destructive.
