छोड़ कर उस को तिरी बज़्म से क्यूँकर जाऊँ
इक जनाज़े का उठाना है उठाना दिल का
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
How can I leave your gathering by leaving my heart behind? Bearing away my heart from here is as heavy as lifting a funeral bier.
Explanation
The poet captures the crushing agony of having to leave the beloved's gathering. His heart has been so thoroughly undone by love that it feels entirely lifeless; gathering himself to leave feels as heavy and sorrowful as lifting a funeral bier. It is not just a quiet departure, but a deeply moving image of carrying away the remains of one's own soul in absolute grief.
