Why should we hold a grudge against each other over the messenger's words? What has been spoken belongs neither to my tongue nor to yours.

In classical ghazal tradition, the messenger is notoriously clumsy, often distorting intimate words or adding his own biases. Here, the lover gently asks the beloved why they should allow a third person's bungled version to sour their relationship. The message that arrived carries neither the lover's true tenderness nor the beloved's grace—it is merely an outsider's flawed tongue, so why let it cast a shadow over their love?
