Ghazal
ख़िरद के पास ख़बर के सिवा कुछ और नहीं
This ghazal conveys the idea that nothing in life is permanent or absolute, emphasizing the fleeting nature of existence. It suggests that at every stage, only one thing holds true significance—be it knowledge, the sight, or the joy of the journey. The poem encourages the realization of impermanence and the importance of the present moment.
