Jo UTha Hai Dard UTha Kare Koi Khaak Us Se Gila Kare — Jigar Moradabadi

जो उठा है दर्द उठा करे कोई ख़ाक उस से गिला करे जिसे ज़िद हो हुस्न के ज़िक्र से जिसे चिढ़ हो इश्क़ के नाम से
— Jigar Moradabadi

Meaning

If pain has arisen, let it rise; why would anyone complain to someone who is averse to the mention of beauty and irritated by the very name of love?

Explanation

Here, the poet embraces heartbreak with quiet dignity, deciding that enduring the ache is far better than begging for sympathy from an indifferent heart. Why seek solace or complain to someone who is genuinely repulsed by the very idea of beauty and irritated by the mention of love? It touches on that poignant moment of self-respect where a lover chooses solitary pain over the humiliation of sharing tenderness with a stone-hearted soul.
