Jaur Ka Shikwa Na Karoon Zulm Hai — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
I do not complain of the cruelty done to me, for complaining is itself a kind of tyranny; yet my very patience has exposed the secret I kept hidden within.
Explanation
The poet here speaks about silent suffering. He says he will not even complain about the cruelty he has faced, because to stay quiet about such injustice feels like its own kind of wrong. But there is a twist. Even though he kept his pain hidden, his own patience gave him away. His quiet endurance, the way he bore everything without a word, ended up revealing the secret he was trying to protect. In other words, sometimes our silence speaks louder than words. The very act of holding back shows others just how much we are going through. It is a tender reflection on how love and pain cannot always be hidden, no matter how hard we try.
