Nazar Aati Hain Har Soo Suratein Hi Suratein Mujhko — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
In every direction I see nothing but faces upon faces. Is this workshop of God some house of mirrors?
Explanation
The poet looks around and sees faces everywhere, in every direction. Wherever the eyes fall, there is form upon form, reflection upon reflection. It feels as if the whole world is a hall of mirrors, each surface showing back an image. From this the poet wonders whether God's creation is itself like a great mirror-house, a workshop where countless forms are shaped and reflected. Behind all these appearances, perhaps, is one single maker whose light shines back in every face. It is a gentle, wondering thought about how the many faces of the world may point to one hidden reality.
