Unhen Kyuun Na Ho Dilruba.i Se Nafrat — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Why wouldn't they despise winning hearts, when they see only grief and suffering in every heart?
Explanation
In traditional poetry, the beloved is often accused of heartlessly stealing hearts, but here the poet offers a delightfully tender twist. He suggests that the beloved has grown weary of charming people because every single heart they win turns out to be heavy with sadness and old wounds. Instead of discovering vibrant love, they find themselves burdened by another's grief, making the sweet art of 'dilrubā’ī' (captivating hearts) feel like an exhausting inheritance of sorrow.
