The latter:
HQ 12.4:9: For Klingons, even though there is a word for cry ({SaQ}), there is no word for tear or tears, undoubtedly because Klingons have no tear ducts. [Mentioned by McCoy in ST6. (SB)] The only thing Maltz could think of that eyes do from time to time is redden ({DoqchoH}, literally "become red or change to red").
Worf told Data that, unlike humans, Klingons do not cry at weddings. (TNG "Data's Day")
