गुफ़्तनी है दिल-ए-पुर-दर्द का क़िस्सा लेकिन
किस से कहिए कोई मुस्तफ़्सिर-ए-हालात तो हो
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning
of this sorrowful heart is certainly worth telling, but whom should I tell it to when there is no one to inquire about my condition?
Explanation
This couplet captures the quiet ache of solitude and the graceful dignity of a wounded heart. The poet longs to pour out the deep grief swelling inside, yet holds back because nobody truly pauses to ask how they are. It reminds us that our most intimate sorrows deserve a caring listener, leaving the speaker to bear the burden of an unspoken story in an indifferent world.
