Ghazal
फ़लक करने के क़ाबिल आसमाँ है

It is a declaration of the poet's inherent self-worth and existence, suggesting that his condition is not a concern for others. The poem reflects a sense of resilient self-identity and pride, even amidst the transient nature of life and sudden changes.

There is a mark on my tongue for his sake.

From this very place, they declare the soul is flowing.

The blossom's glory is in its nest.
