Summary of Qalam Aur Dil

Qalam Aur Dil is a heart-touching Urdu afsana (short story) written by Laiba Arshad. It beautifully explores the power of words, the depth of unspoken feelings, and how a pen (qalam) can become a voice for a silent heart (dil).

This afsana is a poetic and emotional reflection on how writers hide their deepest pain and strongest emotions behind beautiful words.

Plot Summary

The story revolves around a young female writer, who uses her pen to express the sorrows she cannot say out loud. Her heart is wounded, filled with unrequited love, betrayal, and loneliness. Yet she never directly complains – she lets her pen speak for itself.

As she continues to write, her emotions become heavier. The story shows how writing becomes both her escape and her burden. She is admired by many for her words, but no one truly sees her pain – not even the one she writes about.

Finally, she asks the question:

Can the pen ever truly express the sorrow of the heart?

Her answer: No. The pen may try, but the heart’s pain remains locked away.
