शिकवा करने की ख़ू न थी अपनी पर तबीअत ही कुछ भर आई आज
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Complaining was never my habit, but today my heart simply became overwhelmed with emotion.

Explanation

This couplet captures that deeply human moment when long-held patience finally gives way. The poet portrays themselves as someone accustomed to silent endurance, possessing neither the desire nor the habit of voicing grievances. Yet today, like a cup filled to the brim where a single final drop makes it overflow, the heart simply could not contain its sorrow any longer.
