Ghalib is saying that friendship of his beloved has brought such a big turmoil in his life that nothing has left for God to destroy more. To see deeper meaning, pursuit of good cause will fill you with such an enthusiasm that you will never fear even the supreme power of the world.

"वाँ वो गुरुरे इज्ज़-ओ-नाज़, याँ ये हिजाबे पासे-वज्-अ

Ghalib says that his beloved is elusive for him everywhere either at her spots of merrymaking or in streets. At one place  she is in her pride of beauty and attractive demeanour and so damn cares about Ghalib and at other, she keeps her faced fully  covered by veil like an ideal high-cultured lady.

In essence, he wants to say that most coveted things are most elusive as well.

"अपना नहीं ये शेवा कि आराम से बैठें 

उस दर पे नहीं बार, तो काबे ही को हो आये।

Ghalib says that the people are so hypocritical nowadays that they decide to do good works only when they don’t find any way to fulfill their wanton desires in a wrong way.

In next ‘sher’, he says that his self-styled well wishers came to console him in his grief and exuded too much of sorrow. As a result of this, he (Ghalib) became much more depressed whereas his well wishers remained absolutely normal.
