दिल भी पहलू में हो तो याँ किस से रखिए उम्मीद दिलरुबाई की
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

Even if the heart were still present in one's chest, from whom here could one ever hope for love or heart-winning charm?

Explanation

The poet captures a profound sense of emotional desolation and loneliness here. He ponders that even if one still possessed a beating heart intact within the breast, who in this unfeeling world is left to enchant or gently steal it? It is not just a lament for a lost heart, but a poignant realization that the world itself has become devoid of genuine warmth and captivating love.
