Sunta Nahin Woh Warna Yeh Sargoshi-e-aghyaar — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
He simply does not listen; otherwise, this soft whispering of the rivals—do you suppose I find it acceptable to stay silent and say nothing?
Explanation
Here the poet speaks with quiet pain. The whispering of rivals, their gossip against him, reaches his beloved's ears. But she simply doesn't listen to it. That's why things stay calm between them. The poet almost admits something painful: do you think I enjoy staying silent, saying nothing in my own defense? No, I would speak up. But since she pays no attention to those whispers, I let it go. It's a tender mix of trust and helplessness. He trusts that her indifference to the rumors protects their bond, yet he hints at how hard it is to hold his tongue while others try to poison her mind against him.
