क्या कहें किस से प्यार कर बैठे अपने दिल को फ़िगार कर बैठे
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

What can we say about whom we have fallen in love with; we have only ended up wounding our own heart.

Explanation

This sher carries a quiet, aching confession of loving someone unattainable or uncaring, leading only to self-inflicted grief. The word 'figaar' evokes the striking image of a bruised and wounded heart, emphasizing that the lover entered this affection openly, only to end up shattering their own spirit. It captures that tender helplessness where there is no anger toward the beloved, only a heavy regret over one's own vulnerability.
