Ghazal
Khub-ru Sab Ki Jan Hote Hain
ख़ूब-रू सब की जान होते हैं
The ghazal explores the pervasive beauty and significance found in every aspect of life. It suggests that every beautiful person or thing holds immense value, and that even seemingly inert places like the walls or desolate graveyards contain hidden life and stories. Nothing in existence is truly empty or insignificant.
