फ़क़त नब्ज़ से हाल ज़ाहिर न होगा
मिरा दिल भी ऐ चारागर देख लेना
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Merely checking the pulse will not reveal my true condition; O healer, you must examine my heart as well.
Explanation
The poet gently cautions his healer that checking a physical pulse can never reveal the true depth of his affliction. A pulse might measure bodily fever, but it cannot fathom the silent grief, yearning, and heartache buried within. It is a tender plea highlighting that emotional and spiritual wounds cannot be cured by ordinary medicine—they demand profound empathy and an understanding of the heart.
