Labrez-e-shikwa The Hum Lekin Huzoor Tere / Kar-e-shikayat Apna — Mir Taqi Mir
लबरेज़-ए-शिकवा थे हम लेकिन हुज़ूर तेरे
कार-ए-शिकायत अपना गुफ़्तार तक न पहुँचा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Our complaints were merely soft whispers, but my Lord, you never even allowed my grievances to reach your lips.
Explanation
This poignant couplet speaks to the silent struggles of the lover. The poet says that though he was brimming with complaints and grievances, his beloved never heard his complaint, or perhaps, never allowed him to speak it. It captures the deep, frustrating loneliness of having pain that remains unheard, a universal ache of unexpressed sorrow.
