क़लक़ गर यही है तो राज़-ए-निहानी कोई दिन में रुस्वा हुआ चाहता है
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning

If this inner grief and restlessness continue in this way, the hidden secret is bound to be exposed and brought to disgrace within a few days.

Explanation

The poet speaks of an intense inner turmoil and heartbreak that has become impossible to conceal. When the ache of love is this overwhelming, our restless sighs and weary eyes betray us long before we speak. There is a tender anxiety here that if this grief persists, the cherished, hidden secret of love will inevitably spill out and face the harsh judgment of the world.
