रुलाती है मुझे रातों को ख़ामोशी सितारों की निराला इश्क़ है मेरा निराले मेरे नाले हैं
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

The silence of the stars makes me cry at night; my love is unique, and my sorrows are unique.

Explanation

This couplet captures a deep, existential melancholy. The poet feels that the very silence of the stars at night is enough to bring tears. But the deeper realization is the self-affirmation: my love is unlike anything else, and the sorrow that flows from it is equally unique. It speaks to a profound, singular emotional experience that defines the self.
