The heart, liver, eyes, and tears are all restless; having had its tip trimmed, who knows what all this reed pen will write.

In classical Urdu poetry, a traditional reed pen must have its nib sliced—its head severed—before it can drink ink and create art. Here, the poet captures a state of utter emotional agony, where the heart, liver, and weeping eyes are all seething with restlessness. Just as the beheaded pen bleeds brilliance onto paper, the poet's own wounded and fragmented soul turns unbearable suffering into unforgettable poetry.
