दिल वो है कि फ़रियाद से लबरेज़ है हर वक़्त
हम वो हैं कि कुछ मुँह से निकलने नहीं देते
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning
The heart is constantly brimming with cries of pain and lament, yet we are such that we do not let a single word escape our lips.
Explanation
This couplet paints a touching contrast between inner turmoil and outer silence. The poet imagines the heart as a cup brimming over with cries of pain, yet an unbreakable sense of dignity and restraint keeps the lips sealed. It is a tender reflection on the quiet courage it takes to swallow one's grief, suffering deeply within rather than letting the world hear a complaint.
