O wanderer of the heart, how loud is the sound of the ud and chang? Is there any melody in those veils of the heart's streams?

This profound couplet speaks to the subtle music of the soul. Mir Taqi Mir asks, 'Where is the intoxicating sound of the oud and chang?' He suggests that the true melody isn't in external instruments, but in the hidden currents of the heart. The 'veils' (pardon the poetic interpretation) refer to the deepest emotions and memories, where the real, intrinsic rhythm of love resides.
