FWP:
In addition to the home/abroad dichotomy, this verse plays on the friends/strangers one too. It's not just Ghalib's compatriots in general who were unkind, but specifically his close friends or companions. As Bekhud Mohani points out, it's not surprising if strangers are not kind, but for one's own close friends at home to be unkind cuts much deeper. Yet as Bekhud Mohani also observes, the memory of home-- even if it's a wistful or false one-- never seems to be entirely given up, as a yardstick for judging everything else.
It's a good resonant closing-verse.
A strong note of bitterness and alienation is a fine one on which to end.
As an even stronger instance consider {111,16},
in which the poet doesn't just express resentment, but threatens to wipe out
the world if it keeps on maltreating him. Then there's the more complex case
of {149,1}, another verse that imagines the lover
as receiving contempt from the homeland.
