जो वलवले थे वो दब गए सब हुजूम-ए-लैत-ओ-लअल में 'हैदर' जो हौसले थे वो दिल ही दिल में रहे दरेग़-ओ-दरंग हो कर
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

O Haidar, all the enthusiasm was suppressed amidst endless excuses and indecision, and all the courage remained confined within the heart as regret and hesitation.

Explanation

The poet captures a deeply relatable human tragedy: the quiet death of our ambitions under the weight of hesitation. All that youthful passion and fire got smothered in the crowd of excuses and 'ifs and buts.' In the end, the courage to act never stepped out of the heart, turning into nothing more than lingering regret and missed opportunity.
