Ghair Ka Haal Puchhiye Ham Se — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Ask me about the condition of the rival, for I too am among the friends who attend his gathering.
Explanation
There is a sharp, quiet irony wrapped inside heartbreaking helplessness here. The lover tells the listener that if they wish to know how well the rival is doing, they should simply ask him, because he too is kept around in those lively gatherings. Instead of being the beloved's cherished one, he has been relegated to an ordinary spectator, forced to witness the warmth and joy shared between his beloved and his rival.
