Kaleja Mire Munh Ko Aa.ega Ik Din — Dagh Dehlvi
कलेजा मिरे मुँह को आएगा इक दिन
यूँही लब पर आह-ओ-फ़ुग़ाँ आते आते
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
One day my heart will come up to my mouth, as sighs and wails keep continually rising to my lips like this.
Explanation
The poet captures the crushing weight of relentless heartbreak through a powerful physical metaphor. In Urdu tradition, the heart leaping to the mouth suggests agony so visceral that it borders on the fatal. He fears that with each relentless sigh and sob pushing its way to his lips, one day his wounded heart itself will be forced out with them.
