कर दिया चुप वाक़िआत-ए-दहर ने
थी कभी हम में भी गोयाई बहुत
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
The events and experiences of the world have made me silent, though once I too possessed the power to speak a great deal.
Explanation
This poignant sher reflects on how the relentless trials and tragedies of life slowly quieten the most vibrant spirits. The poet remembers a time when they were brimming with expression and eloquence, but the sheer weight of worldly circumstances has silenced that voice. It captures the melancholic exhaustion of a person who has endured so much that silence becomes their only response.
