Jinnaat Pari Dev Malak Hoor Bhi Naadir — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
Jinns, fairies, demons, angels and houris are all rare; if humans are a marvel, then beasts are a spectacle.
Explanation
The poet looks at all of creation and marvels at it. Jinns, fairies, demons, angels, and beautiful hoors are all rare and wondrous beings. But then the poet turns to the creatures right in front of us. The human being, he says, is a true wonder, something astonishing and full of mystery. And even the animal world is a fascinating spectacle, a show worth watching. In short, we don't need to look to unseen, magical realms to find marvels. The everyday world around us, people and animals alike, is already brimming with awe. Every form of life carries its own strange beauty, if only we pause to notice it.
