Do not fall for the deception concerning the beloved's current state; my friends have hidden its value in the dust.

This profound couplet warns us against trusting the outward display of pride or dignity from a loved one, especially when they are vulnerable. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the true value or 'price' of that relationship has already been diminished, scattered like dust by the actions of friends. It's a deeply cynical, yet realistic look at betrayal, reminding us that even the greatest pride can be worthless when trust is broken.
