Us Ki Raton Ka Intiqam Na Puchh — Jigar Moradabadi
उस की रातों का इंतिक़ाम न पूछ
जिस ने हँस हँस के दिन गुज़ारे हैं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Do not ask about the vengeance or suffering of the nights of someone who spent their days laughing and smiling.
Explanation
This couplet captures the hidden cost of wearing a brave face for the world. During the day, one laughs effortlessly to conceal heartbreak, but once darkness sets in and the crowds fade, solitude exacts a brutal revenge. The night forces you to confront every unshed tear and buried ache, reminding us that forced laughter often carries the heaviest grief.
