Kya Kahe Tarif Dil Hai Be-nazir — Wali Dakhani
Meaning
How can one praise the heart, when every single letter of this treasury of hidden secrets is completely matchless?
Explanation
The poet is in sheer awe of the human heart, describing it not just as a fountain of feelings, but as an unmatched treasure house of mystical secrets ('makhzan-e-asraar'). Words fall completely short, because every single beat and nuance—like every letter in a sacred manuscript—holds immense divine truths. In classical ghazals, the heart is a mirror to the infinite, which makes all worldly praise feel wondrously inadequate.
