रंज और रंज भी तन्हाई का
वक़्त पहुँचा मिरी रुस्वाई का
— Altaf Hussain Hali
Meaning
There is grief, and that too the sorrow of solitude; the moment of my public disgrace has now arrived.
Explanation
This couplet captures the devastating weight of a double blow: not just grief, but the crushing silence of facing it completely alone. When sorrow is endured in solitude, one's inner composure eventually fractures and spills into the open, leading to public disgrace. It is a poignant confession that private tears, when left unsupported, inevitably become a spectacle for the world.
