दहान-ए-हर-बुत-ए-पैग़ारा-जू ज़ंजीर-ए-रुस्वाई अदम तक बेवफ़ा चर्चा है तेरी बेवफ़ाई का
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

The mouth of every taunting beloved has become a chain of my disgrace, and O faithless one, the talk of your unfaithfulness has reached even to the realm of non-existence.

Explanation

The poet paints a striking picture where every mocking mouth that taunts him links together to form an unbroken chain of public humiliation. He turns to his faithless beloved to say that their betrayal is so staggering that rumors of it haven't just filled this world, but have echoed all the way into 'adam'—the absolute void of non-existence. It is a dramatic and poignant reflection on how personal heartbreak spills over into inescapable, eternal notoriety.
