rahee nagufta mere dil mein
1 / 1: Couplet
na us dayaar mein samjha koyi
zabaan mere
my heart held
my untold tale
and, not a soul there
understood my language

Interpretation
Shaayar Mir seems to talk of not just loneliness. It’s the ache of being surrounded and still unseen.
The speaker’s heart is brimming with a dastaan — a tale aching to be told — but it stays trapped.
Not for lack of courage. Not even for lack of words. It stays hidden because the people around him? They don’t listen. They hear, maybe — but they sure don’t get a word of what he says.
He’s in a land, a dayaar, suffused with noise but empty of understanding.
The people there are tone-deaf, insensitive. Not perhaps because they hate him. Likely they don’t even notice him deeply enough to dislike him.
It’s not, maybe, cruelty. It’s perhaps something worse: indifference?
