Ghazal
Dil Ke Maamle Ki Mat Kar Fikr, Fursat Chahiye
दिल के मामूरे की मत कर फ़िक्र फ़ुर्सत चाहिए
This ghazal suggests that instead of worrying about someone's heart matters, one needs peace and leisure in life. It states that for love and revelry to thrive, a simplicity like that of a wandering ascetic is required, and for any unsuccessful venture, wealth is necessary. The poet concludes by saying that even a poet needs the courage and ability to stand before the art itself.
