गुलज़ार में दुनिया के हूँ जूँ नख़्ल-ए-भचंपा ख़्वाहिश न समर की न मियाँ ख़ौफ़-ए-क़हर का
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning

In the garden of this world, I am like the ground-champa plant; my friend, I neither desire any fruit nor fear any wrath or calamity.

Explanation

In this delicate verse, the poet visualizes the world as a sprawling garden and compares himself to the humble 'bhu-champa'—a modest plant that blooms close to the earth without bearing sweet fruit. Because he carries no grand ambition for worldly rewards, he is equally free from the fear of loss, punishment, or the gardener's wrath. It is a serene celebration of detachment, reminding us that shedding expectations is the secret to fearless peace.
