تصویر و مصور
خبر، عقل و خرد کی ناتوانینظر، دل کی حیات جاودانینہیں ہے اس زمانے کی تگ و تازسزاوار حدیث 'لن ترانی'
English translation
Picture: The heart a weak point of wisdom and sense, a life long motive for the heart is glance.
This world’s tug and pull suits her never, to hear God’s voice, ‘You can’t see me ever’.
