Why ?
Hana Baig 1998 (Nankana)
A question started from Why
Your behaviour was all dry
Ye didn't even make any try
To console me, when I cry
Where were ye, when I was alone
I feel alienation in thy tone
I called ye and you were gone
Neither ever appeared nor shown
Why are you silent, answer me
I waited at every cup of tea
And I tried very hard to see
Where were ye when I needed thee
_Hana Baig
