We are not saying that we cannot express our sorrow, but we cannot reveal the actual cause behind that grief.

This couplet captures the quiet dignity of a lover who can easily share their sorrow, but chooses to guard its true cause. Speaking of heartbreak is simple, yet revealing the reason—which often points to the beloved or a sacred, private wound—would betray the trust and honor of love. The real beauty of the sher lies in this noble restraint, where silence about the cause is an act of deep loyalty.
