Ho Raaz-e-dil Na Yaar Se Posheeda Yaar Ka — Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
Meaning
May the heart's secret not remain concealed from the friend because of the friend, if a veil made of the heart's dust should come between them.
Explanation
The poet is saying that nothing stays hidden between true friends. When two hearts are close, even their secrets remain open to each other. But here he adds a gentle wish: let the secret of the heart never be hidden from the beloved, as long as there is a veil, a thin curtain of misunderstanding or heartache, standing between them. In other words, if any distance or cloud of sorrow comes up, let it not keep their hearts apart. He longs for a closeness so complete that no grief, no hidden pain, can build a wall between the lover and the beloved. It is a tender plea for honesty and togetherness.
