What sorrow of the heart should I speak, my beloved, when the tongue has brought forth such sweet verse at night. It implies that the beauty of the verse has eclipsed any emotional pain.
This profound couplet speaks to the moment of emotional breakthrough. The poet is telling his companion (humdam) that the pain in his heart (soz-e-jigar) is so overwhelming that he cannot even begin to describe it. The agony is held back until the right moment—when the night brings the words to the tongue. It captures that intense, sudden necessity of confession, when silence is no longer an option.
