दिल रहा पा-ए-बंद-ए-उल्फ़त-ए-दाम
थी अबस आरज़ू रिहाई की
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
The heart remained bound in the snare of love, making any longing for freedom completely futile.
Explanation
In this couplet, love is envisioned as an inescapable snare in which the heart finds its feet irrevocably bound. The poet reflects on the futility of wishing for freedom once you have surrendered to love's pull; the longing to escape becomes entirely meaningless. It captures a bittersweet resignation to emotional captivity, where the trap is absolute and the heart quietly accepts its fate.
