अब्र-ए-तर से सबा ही अच्छी थी मेरी मिट्टी हुई तमाम ख़राब
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

The gentle morning breeze was far better than this rain-laden cloud, as the rain has completely ruined my dust.

Explanation

Rain is usually welcomed as a blessing of life and renewal, but for a lover who has already been reduced to dust, this rain-soaked cloud brings only disaster. The gentle morning breeze was far kinder, as it at least allowed their scattered ashes to drift freely with some dignity. Instead of offering relief, the heavy downpour has turned that dust into trampled mud, reminding us that sometimes well-meaning tears and overwhelming pity only deepen a person's humiliation.
