Kahun Hal-e-dil To Kahen Us Se Hasil — Dagh Dehlvi
कहूँ हाल-ए-दिल तो कहें उस से हासिल
सभी को ख़बर है सभी जानते हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
If I describe the condition of my heart, they ask what benefit will come of it, since everyone already has the news and everyone already knows it.
Explanation
There is a quiet helplessness and sharp irony in this couplet. The poet wonders what use it is to pour out their grief, because in a world indifferent to pain, personal suffering has merely become an open secret. Everyone gossips and knows the tragedy, yet no one genuinely steps forward to heal the wounded heart.
