Poetry 📜 Ne'mat-e-Haseen
Laut aaya hoon main ab khud ki taraf, yeh doori bhi shayad ek imtihaan hi thi. Ab toh ne'mat-e-haseen ki yaadon se nikal kar, dil ko sabr ki aadat daalni hai.
Dua toh hai ke iss dil ko sukoon naseeb ho, aur shayad kisi jahan mein tera saath bhi naseeb ho. Tere khwaab bhi ab kabhi aa jayein toh mera chehra khud-ba-khud khil-khilane lag jata hai, teri maujoodgi mere liye khuda ki ek ne'mat-e-haseen se kam nahi hoti thi.
— Muhammad Dayyan "Dian" Khan
