तू ने तो अपने दर से मुझ को उठा दिया है परछाईं फिर रही है मेरी उसी गली में
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

You have removed me from your doorstep, yet my shadow still wanders in that very same street.

Explanation

This sher touches the tender ache of loving someone even after being pushed away. While the beloved has physically banished the lover from their doorstep, the lover's lingering longing—imagined poignantly as an abandoned shadow—refuses to leave that familiar lane. It shows that you can exile someone's body, but their memories, soul, and quiet devotion remain anchored right where they were cast out.
