حکایت غم دل کچھ کشش تو رکھتی ہے
زمانہ غور سے سنتا ہوا لگے ہے مجھے
جاں نثار اختر –
Hikayat-e-gham-e-dil kuchh kashish to rakhti hai
zamaana ghaur se sunta hua lage hai mujhe
– JaN Nisar Akhtar
हिकायत-ए-ग़म-ए-दिल कुछ कशिश तो रखती है
ज़माना ग़ौर से सुनता हुआ लगे है मुझे
– जाँ निसार अख़्तर

The tale of my heart’s sorrow has some allure surely
it seems that the world is listening to it intently
