After a long time, O Dagh, I have finally realized that the truly wise person is the one who never listened to their heart.

Here, Daagh shares a hard-won realization with the wry smile of someone who has loved, suffered, and lived through it all. Looking back over years of heartbreak, he concludes that true wisdom actually belonged to the one who defied the impulsive whispers of their own heart. The charm of this couplet lies in its bittersweet irony—it presents a very sensible, cautious lesson, yet implies that resisting the heart is the hardest thing in the world.
