na thi haal ki jab hamen apne khabar rahe dekhte auron ke aib o hunar padi apni buraiyon par jo nazar to nigah men koi bura na raha

while unknowing of myself, in others faults did often see when my own shortcomings saw, found no one else as bad as me the couplet turns from judging others to judging oneself. the poet says that ignorance of one’s own inner state leads to fault-finding in others, but self-scrutiny brings humility. seeing one’s own defects softens the gaze and dissolves harsh judgments. the emotional core is moral awakening and compassion born from introspection.

vo saf-go hai magar baat ka hunar sikhe badan hasin hai to kya be-libas aaega

hamare aib men jis se madad mile ham ko hamen hai aaj kal aise kisi hunar ki talash

tesha-ba-kaf ko aina-gar kah diya gaya jo aib tha use bhi hunar kah diya gaya

tujhe bhula ke bhi sadiyan bhula nahin saktin magar ye shart hai khud men kamal paida kar

ham parindon se hunar chhinega kaun jal gaya ik ghar to sau ghar ban gae
