यूँ मुरव्वत से तुम्हारे सामने चुप हो रहें कल के जलसों की मगर हम ने ख़बर पाई तो है
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Although we stay silent before you out of polite regard, we have indeed received the news of yesterday's gatherings.

Explanation

Here, the lover stays quiet not out of ignorance, but out of pure grace, courtesy, and lingering respect. Instead of creating a scene about the beloved's secret gatherings from the night before, the speaker chooses a dignified silence that carries an unspoken sting. It beautifully captures that poignant moment in love where you let the other person know you see right through them, without uttering a single harsh word.
