आह जो दिल से निकाली जाएगी क्या समझते हो कि ख़ाली जाएगी
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Do you truly believe that a sigh wrenched from the heart will go in vain and remain without any effect?

Explanation

This couplet carries a quiet yet formidable warning about the unseen power of genuine heartache. A sigh here is not merely breath, but a sorrowful prayer drawn from the soul, striking like a silent arrow. The poet gently reminds the beloved—or any oppressor—that true pain never goes unheard by the universe, and the ache of a broken heart always finds its retribution.
