There is no mutual respect or love left in hearts anymore; formal titles like 'Dear Sir' or 'Respected Sir' exist solely in written words.
This couplet observes the hollow nature of modern relationships with a touch of melancholy and gentle satire. The poet laments that heartfelt warmth and genuine mutual respect have faded, surviving merely as cold formalities in official letters and emails. Polite salutations like 'Dear Sir' or 'Janab-e-Mukarrami' have become mechanical masks, highlighting how distant our hearts remain despite our polished social etiquette.
