इन हसरतों से कह दो कहीं और जा बसें इतनी जगह कहाँ है दिल-ए-दाग़-दार में
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

Tell these unfulfilled desires to go and dwell somewhere else, for there is hardly any space left in this wounded and scarred heart.

Explanation

Here, the poet treats his unfulfilled desires like wandering guests, gently telling them to seek shelter somewhere else because his heart simply cannot host them. The heart is pictured as a battered, wounded space already packed to the brim with the scars of past griefs, leaving no room for new hopes. It captures a deeply moving emotional exhaustion—when you have suffered so much loss that even yearning for something better feels like an unbearable burden.
