Ghazal
जिन जिन को था ये इश्क़ का आज़ार मर गए
This ghazal speaks of how the wounds of love have killed many, and similarly, other life's disappointments break the heart. The world has forgotten the truth of loyalty and love, and many people have died as mere merchants of their hearts.

Often those who were ill with us have passed away.
