इब्तिदा से इंतिहा तक हाल उन से कह तो दूँ फ़िक्र ये है और जो कह कर पशेमानी हुई
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

I could tell them my entire state from beginning to end, but the worry is what if I regret it after speaking.

Explanation

This couplet captures the tender hesitation that often haunts deep love, where the heart desperately wants to lay bare its entire journey from start to finish. Yet, right at the edge of confession, a quiet dread pulls the lover back—the fear of a regret that cannot be undone. Sometimes, holding onto silence feels safer than bearing the irreversible vulnerability of speaking our heart to someone who might misunderstand it.
