Gar Aar Hai Kuchh Ismein Tumhein To Kuchh Ai Miyaan — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
If you feel any shame or objection in this, then O dear one, take away with you this honour-sheltering heart.
Explanation
The poet speaks with wounded pride and a touch of challenge. He says, my dear, if you feel any shame or hesitation in accepting my heart, if there is something in it you find beneath you, then take this proud, self-respecting heart back to yourself. In other words, I will not offer it where it is treated as a burden or looked down upon. This is a heart that guards its own honour, and it would rather return than be received grudgingly. There is dignity in these words, and also a quiet ache. Love, he suggests, must be welcomed openly and not held with reluctance, or else it is better kept to oneself.
