larzish jeb tek dum na toreye,
nahi teb tek seire hoti heye
khood jalaee howee chingari
uss keye serd wajood ko tapish dila ker
hee phir rakh hoti heye
…
nafs per tari jeb hikmet hoti hey
rukh bedl jata heye, perchaee ka bhi
kee gaee setchi wohh herr dua
jeb kabool hoti heye
note: the poem reflects on the resilience of unmistakeable link be it severed, even then, conviction holds a body steadfast in its original resolve or delibrately made promise
it is there, it is active and kept
but the quality of it, is that of a flickering flame
constant, dim but lit.
