कहीं ऐसे बिगड़े सँवरते भी देखे न आएँगे वो राह पर देख लेना
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

Have you ever seen anyone so ruined actually mend their ways? Mark my words, they will never return to the right path.

Explanation

This couplet carries a poignant blend of exasperation and quiet surrender, likely directed at an aloof and unyielding beloved. By contrasting ruin ('bigde') with mending ('sanwarte'), the poet suggests that someone whose nature is inherently wayward will never bend or reform. The metaphor of 'returning to the path' speaks of emotional reconciliation, capturing that bitter yet tender familiarity when you know someone’s stubborn heart too well to expect a change.
