चाल की रहनुमा-ए-इश्क़ ने भी
वो दिखाया जो था मक़ाम ख़राब
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
The guide of love also played a trick on me and led me to a place that was completely ruined.
Explanation
We usually expect love to be a noble guide that shows us the right path, but here, the poet laments that Love itself played a cruel trick. Instead of leading to peace or union, this supposed mentor deliberately steered the lover straight into desolation and ruin. It captures that painful irony where the very feeling you trusted with your heart becomes the architect of your downfall.
