उँगलियाँ तार-ए-गरेबाँ में उलझ जाती हैं सख़्त दुश्वार है हाथों से दबाना दिल का
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

My fingers get entangled in the threads of my torn collar; it is extremely difficult to suppress or hold back the aching heart with one's hands.

Explanation

Imagine a lover in such agony that they instinctively press a hand against their chest just to quiet their pounding, breaking heart. But their grief and passion have already torn their collar to shreds, and their trembling fingers keep getting caught in the loose threads. It paints a poignant picture of helplessness, showing how utterly futile it is to restrain a storm of emotion with frail, shaking hands.
