Kyun Kar Tumhari Bat Kare Koi Atibar — Mir Taqi Mir
क्यूँकर तुम्हारी बात करे कोई ए'तिबार
ज़ाहिर में क्या कहो हो सुख़न ज़ेर-ए-लब है क्या
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Why should anyone speak of your words on this occasion? What you say openly, what is on your tongue?
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the profound difficulty of expressing deep emotions. The poet asks: how can anyone speak of you, with any proper respect, when the feelings are so intense? And what can one possibly say outwardly, when the very words are already poised right beneath the lips? It captures that universal struggle where the heart's truth is too vast to be contained by mere words.
