Tere Kooche Mein Miri Khaak Bhi Paamaal Hui — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Even my dust became soiled in your paths, due to those heartless people who had entrusted me with fidelity.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the overwhelming nature of love and betrayal. The poet suggests that even the mere dust of his being was scattered in the beloved's path. This implies an extreme level of devotion. But the deeper pain comes from those who had entrusted him with loyalty—the heartless ones who broke his trust, making the beloved's presence seem secondary to the emotional wounds inflicted by others.
