Asympathetic

Hui jin se tavaqqo khastagi ki daad paane ki
Wo ham se bhi zyaada khasta-e-tegh-e-sitam nikle

[khasta=wounded; tegh=tyranny]
The very people I expected to draw sympathy for my wounds from, turned out to be the ones more brutally wounded from the tyranny that ails me. Brilliant one from ‘hazaaron khwahishen aisi’.
