किसी की रंजिश या शिकायत सुना नहीं सकता;पड़ी हैं बेड़ियाँ ऐसी कि खड़खड़ा नहीं सकता।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning
I cannot make anyone hear a grievance or a plea; such shackles have been cast that I cannot even rattle them free.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the profound pain of helplessness. The poet is saying that he is unable to even listen to another person's complaint or grievance, because he himself is bound by invisible chains. These chains are not physical; they are emotional or circumstantial. They represent a state of paralysis where one is trapped, unable to speak, unable to act, and unable to offer solace, even when the heart yearns to do so.
