किसी वक़्त अश्क हैं जारी किसी वक़्त आह और ज़ारी ग़रज़ हाल-ए-ग़म-ए-फ़ुर्क़त कभी यूँ है कभी वूँ है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

At times tears flow and at times there are sighs and wailing; in short, the state of separation's sorrow is sometimes like this and sometimes like that.

Explanation

The poet captures the restless, chaotic nature of separation where sorrow refuses to stay still. One moment brings a silent flood of tears, and the very next bursts into heavy sighs and desperate weeping. In this state of heartbreak, grief constantly changes its shape, leaving the lover in an endless, unpredictable cycle of pain.
